The Oce of University Housing provides on-campus accommodaons 
for the freshman class. It is important for your student to abide by 
departmental and university rules and regulaons. Being familiar with the 
Housing Handbook by Freshman Move-In Day (Sunday, August 12, 2018) is 
the best way to start the school year o right! 
In early August, residenal students will receive a leer sent to their 
university email address that details Move-In Day info. Roommate names 
and contact informaon will be distributed two weeks before move in. 
Students should reach out to each other to get acquainted, plan room 
décor and decide who will bring what supplies to help cut costs and save 
space! Students will need to make sure that their rst full payment for 
housing and meals is made prior to the University’s deadline for tuion and 
fees (Wednesday, August 8, 2018).

The Dining Services sta works to ensure UL Lafayee students, faculty, and sta receive the highest  
caliber in dining and service. One of the top ways Dining Services does this is by catering to the allergy and  
nutrional needs of its students as much as possible. Nutrion informaon is conveniently displayed at each 
food staon and can also be found online using the downloadable app "Bite by Sodexo."   
Dining Services oers many meal plan opons (including commuter) consisng of varying Cypress Lake 
Dining Room meal swipes, ex meals used at retail locaons, and declining balance (dining dollars) amounts. 
Should your student get to college and decide to alter his or her meal plan to beer t dietary  
habits, all meal plans  through the rst week of school by emailing
