Undergraduate Housing & Meal Plan Rates

First-year students who have a housing contract through Housing and Food Services are required to purchase the Residential All-Access Meal Plan. Per the terms and conditions of the housing agreement they are not eligible to purchase a Campus Dining Pass or to forego purchasing a meal plan.    

This plan offers students maximum flexibility to meet the needs of any eating schedule. Students have the freedom to eat a full meal or to just stop by to grab a snack. The format of this plan eliminates the need to budget meals per week and allows students to enjoy eating at the pace that works best for them. 

For added value the All-Access meal plan comes with 15 additional meals that may be used to treat a guest.   

Students assigned to "single" rooms are not sharing the bedroom with another student. Single-room units may share other amenities such as bathrooms or common areas.

Students assigned to "multiple occupancy" rooms will share the bedroom space with other students. Multiple occupancy may mean two, three, or four students share a room.

Traditional rooms are ideal for those who enjoy the classic dormitory setting, Traditional Rooms provide a communal living experience with shared spaces.

During Winter Break and Spring Break, residents with a signed Housing agreement, and who are registered for spring semester classes, are eligible for break housing, but must complete a request in advance.

Residents may be relocated for the break period, depending on the status of their permanent residence hall community.

A discounted summer rate is available for continuing residents who lived in university housing the previous spring semester, or who will continue living in university housing in the following fall semester. 

Students who do not live in university housing for the preceding spring or subsequent fall semesters  (i.e., summer housing only) will pay the semester-rate for the summer session.  

Students who are not staying for the full summer term should refer to Summer Housing for UC Students page for more information regarding how this may impact billing. 

• Continuing residents who do not require housing for the full summer term may be billed at a nightly rate of $40 instead of the full summer discounted rate. 
• Summer housing only students who are not staying the full summer may be billed a proportion of the full semester rate.
