160 Meals Per Semester

25 Dining Dollars Per Semester/Convert Meals to Dining Dollars /To-Go Option/ 3 Guest Meals per Semester

This meal plan gives you 160 meals for the entire semester. Semesters are approximately 16 weeks long, resulting in an average of 10 meals per week. You may convert any of the 160 meals a semester into Dining Dollars at a rate of $7.08 per meal, twice a semester (by November 30 for the Fall Semester and April 30 for Spring Semester). Your converted Dining Dollars can be utilized at any University Dining Services location on campus. Converted Dining Dollars do not carry over from Fall Semester to Spring Semester. Dining Dollars not used by the end of EACH SEMESTER will be forfeited.

With this plan, you can determine whether you want more traditional meals in the University Dining Center or greater flexibility with Dining Dollars to be used at any University Dining Services location on campus.

Maverick 250 Dining Dollars Plan

250 Dining Dollars Per Semester / No Meals Included /To-Go Option

The $250 per semester in Dining Dollars included with this plan can be utilized at any dining location on campus at any time of the day. These Dollars carry over from Fall Semester to Spring Semester. Dining Dollars not used by the end of Spring Semester will be forfeited. Students are welcome to use their Dining Dollars to buy a meal in the dining center as no meals are included in this plan. Students living at Stadium Heights who do not choose a meal plan by the deadline will default to the Maverick 25 Dining Dollars plan.

Residents may change their meal plan August 14 through September 1 using the Meal Plan Change Request form. This is the only time period that a student may change to the Maverick 250 Dining Dollars plan (we do not allow students to select this meal plan for the Spring Semester unless they are living at/moving to Stadium Heights).

Meal Plan Changes

Students may request to change their meal plan. The last day to request a meal plan change for each semester is the Friday of the second week of class. The fall semester meal plan change period is the only time period that a student may change to the Maverick 250 Dining Dollars plan.

Students moving to, from, or living in Stadium Heights wishing to change to the Maverick 250 Dining Dollars Plan after the meal plan change deadline may inquire at the Residential Life Office about options.

Please refer to the “Meal Plan Requirement” section (p.33) under “Housing Contract Information” for additional information about meal plan changes.

The Meal Plan Change Request form is available on Residential Life website. Students on the 160 Meals Per Semester Plan who use all of their meals prior to the end of the semester and are interested in purchasing an additional meal plan and/or Dining Dollars to use for the remainder of the semester should contact the Residential Life Office.

To-Go Options

To-Go meals from the University Dining Center are available to students on a meal plan whose classes, jobs, or athletic schedules do not enable them to eat during regular service hours. You can also use your Dining Dollars to purchase food items if you are unable to get to the dining center when it is open. To-Go meals are designed for students on-the-go, so students who take a To-Go container are not allowed to use it in the dining center.

Suggestions

We encourage you to share your suggestions and concerns regarding food service with the University Dining Center Manager at 507-389-1513.
