Dining Services

Welcome to the Chaminade Dining Program!

A variety of dining options and locations are available on the Chaminade campus. We also offer meal plans for students residing in campus-owned housing, as well as commuting students.

Please visit the Chaminade University Campus Dish for additional information.


Meal Plans (2025–2026 Academic Year)

Meal plan options are available for all students. For students residing in Hale Lokelani, Hale Pohaku, Kieffer Hall, and the Marianist Living Learning Community, purchasing a meal plan is required as part of the housing agreement. As the Waialae Apartments all have full kitchens, students residing in this space have an option to purchase a meal plan.

If no meal plan is chosen on the housing application, those residents required to have plans will automatically be placed on the (B) Mahalo meal plan for the semester.

Debit Dollars are a set amount of declining balance funds which students may purchase and load onto their Chaminade ID card. Each time a food purchase is made in one of the campus dining locations, the cost is subtracted from the balance on the student’s account. Debit Dollars may be used in the P.O.D, Silversword Cafe, and Vicki Vending Machine (Kieffer Hall) and area available for purchase to all students, faculty, and staff.

Plan A – Hula (AY 2025-2026), $3,100/semester
  • 10 meals per week
  • $150 Debit Dollars
  • 2 guest meals
Plan B – Mahalo (AY 2025-2026), $4,240/semester)
  • 14 meals per week
  • $150 Debit Dollars
  • 2 guest meals
Plan C – Aloha (AY 2025-2026), $4,470/semester
  • Unlimited meals per week
  • $150 Debit Dollars
  • 5 guest meals

*All Unlimited All-Access member meal plan periods consist of our conventional meal period hours as well as an additional unlimited period.

Additional Meal Plan Information:

  • Meal plans are non-transferable and may may only be used by the plan holder. Guest meals are available as part of each plan.
  • The plan holder must have their meal card (Chaminade ID) to enter the dining facility.
  • Meal plans expire at the end of each semester.
  • Unlimited meals are intended to be eaten within the dining facility.  Anyone taking a meal “to go” may not return until the following meal period.

For more information, read our Meal Plan FAQs.
