Residential Meal Plans

To dine with friends is enticing. To dine worry-free is enlightning.

Simplify your life! Meal plans come in many convenient shapes and sizes. A magnetic strip on the back of your Bearcat Card works with our computer system to identify you as having a meal plan. By combining a Meal Allowance with Bearcat Card Dollars, you can find a plan that's right for you.

About the Plans

Premium Plan*
This plan offers the most meals for your money. 
This plan averages out to 19 meals a week - enough to eat every time a meal is served in the dining centers!

Prime Plan*
If you eat an average of 2 meals a day, this plan is for you. 
This averages out to 14 meals per week.

Plus Plan*
This meal plan offers the greatest amount of flexibility. 
A resident receives an average of 12 meals/week to use over the semester and $150 placed on their Bearcat Card account each semester.  This $150 amount can be used at any participating on- or off-campus dining venue, snack machines,
and laundry facilities.
This averages out to 12 meals per week.

No Meal Plan Option
Upperclass residents will be able to opt out of having a meal plan. Although upperclass students will not be required to have
a meal plan, you may want to consider the savings offered by the Campus Dining Pass used by many commuter students, faculty, and staff.

 * additional Bearcat Card dollars can be added to any of the meal plans.
