Meal Plan Options | 2014/2015

UP meal plans are a “declining balance” concept. There are no limitations on when or where students can use their dining points and there are no regulations prohibiting the use of the dining points to purchase meals for other students or guests. Students will be able to “grab and go” with their purchases and are not limited to eating their meals in the location where it was purchased. Students will have control of their meal plan account and will be able to purchase their meals as they see fit. Of course, having control of the spending in the meal plan account comes with a level of responsibility in student spending behavior. Every purchase will come with a receipt showing an account balance.

A dining option is required for all students living in UP residence halls including the Haggerty and Tyson apartments. Residents must purchase a required meal plan each semester. The 2011-2012 declining balance meal plans are listed below:

Meal Plan 1  1437.50 dining points per semester
Meal Plan 2  1617.50 dining points per semester
Meal Plan 3  1,775.00 dining points per semester
Meal Plan 4  2675.00 dining points per semester

Refunds will not be given for unused dining points at the end of the academic year. All dining points must be used by the end of spring semester. Unused dining points cannot transfer to another student account or carry over to the next school year.

Residents select a dining option for the entire semester. Fall level changes are allowed until the second Friday of the fall semester; changes for spring semester must be submitted by the first Friday of the spring semester.
