What's Cooking with the Meal Plans?

 

 

What is a meal plan? Food with Flexibility!

You decide when and what you want to eat rather than be restricted to a limited number of meals. The meal plan is usable in all campus dining facilities, and $100 may be used each year for purchases in the Campus C-store. The Weekend Warrior enables residents to order snacks, entrees, and some grocery items to have in their rooms. Weekend Warriors orders are delivered to the residence halls each Friday afternoon.

Most meals are served in dining facilities located in the Student Center. Weekend brunches and Sunday dinner are served in the Villa Hall Dining Room.

 

There are four different meal plan options from which residents may choose:

$500 each semester ($1000 for academic year)

$650 each semester ($1300 for academic year)

$800 each semester ($1600 for academic year)

$100 each semester ($200 for academic year)*

(*This option is only available to residents of Mansion Hills.)

The UM-St. Louis meal plan is a "declining balance" program. This means you begin each semester with a pre-paid balance and you charge against that balance during the semester. Balances at the end of the fall semester are carried over to the winter semester and added to that semester's contracted amount. If a student has a balance at the end of the winter semester and continues to reside in the halls while enrolled in intersession/summer session, that balance will be available for use during the intersession/summer session.

Student are able to check the balance of their board plans and/or add money to their accounts at any time. If a student adds money to the meal plan and if the balance at the end of the winter semester exceeds the original contracted amount and if the student will not be living in the halls during intersession/summer session, the exceeding balance may be refunded to the student.

There are no refunds of the original contracted meal plan amount.

 

The Dining Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) is a representative committee of residential students which meets regularly with the Dining Services management to make suggestions on behalf of the residential students and to address food service concerns and needs. Residents interested in becoming DSAC members may contact the committee chair at any time.
