Meal Plan Rates
First-year On-Campus Residents
First-year students who have a housing contract through Housing and Food Services are required to purchase the All-Access (formerly unlimited) Residential 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.
Residential All-Access 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 fifteen additional meals that you can use to treat a guest and $150 Bearcat Card dollars.***
All-Access Meal Plan Details
Reminder that spring semester 2021 will be billed at the Standard Semester rates in the tables below.
| Details | Spring 2021 |
Fall 2020* |

***Bearcat Card (BCC) dollars are added to the student's ID as part of the meal plan. The BCC dollars may be spent at any on-campus food location (including the Dining Centers) as well as off-campus locations participating in the BCC program. BCC dollars carry over from one semester to the next, and refund of any unspent BCC dollars is available upon request at the end of spring semester or upon leaving UC.
