APARTMENT MEAL PLANS
WHAT IS AN APARTMENT MEAL PLAN?
With the variety of cooking amenities that the Lumina buildings offer, not all students want a traditional meal plan! Duquesne Dining offers apartment meal plans with 5-7 meal swipes a week and flex! This is a convenient option for students who still plan to grab lunch at one of the many dining options on campus. You are not required to have a meal plan when living in the Lumina communities.
HOW TO GET A MEAL PLAN
You can sign up for an apartment meal plan through DORI. Log in using your Duquesne credentials and click on the Meal Plan tab, then Apartment Meal plan. From there you are able to select your desired meal plan! Returning Lumina residents can now sign up for apartment meal plans. New Lumina residents will need to wait until the end of the summer to apply, as housing has not yet transitioned for the semester.
