Student dining plans are designed to provide Spartans with flexibility. With many locations and options available, you’ll never go hungry! Feel free to contact us at 517-884-0660 or info@eatatstate.com with questions.
On-campus Plans
When signing their housing contract, on-campus students choose one of the three dining plans below (Silver, Gold or Platinum).
To select or change an on-campus dining plan, please contact the Housing Assignments Office at 517-884-5483 or liveon@msu.edu. Dining plans are non-refundable. After dining plans are activated for the semester, students may not downgrade to another dining plan (e.g., from a Gold to a Silver) due to the Spartan Cash included in two of the dining plan options.
Please visit the Live On website for a list of on-campus housing and dining rates.

(MSU students living off-campus are also welcome to purchase an unlimited dining plan (Silver, Gold or Platinum) under ‘On-campus Plans’ above; however, you must do so over the phone by calling 517-355-2274.)
Mobile ordering is now included as a Combo-X-Change (CX) with the Block Plan.
With an off-campus Block Plan, save up to $4 per meal (off the standard public dining rate). The quantities below are options available to those purchasing a plan.
