Meal Plan
Meal Plan Options for 2024-25 Academic Year
Full Meal Plan - mandatory for students living in traditional halls, small houses, and language houses.
Apartment Meal Plan - mandatory for students living in student apartments, east campus apartments, and fraternities.
No Meal Plan - for students living cottage housing, and off-campus do not require a meal plan.
Please note: If a student does not return for the spring semester for any reason after attending the fall semester and has unused meal plan money, there will be no refunds on the unused meal plan dollars. However, the gold card plus allocation for meals will roll from semester to semester.
All meal plan dollars expire at the end of the spring semester. No exceptions.
Students enrolled in CC courses, where the entire block is spent away from campus, may receive a deduction equivalent to the amount of one block of their meal plan. A refund is issued directly to the student to use toward their study abroad trip expenses. If the full one block amount is not available when the refund is issued, the student will only receive what remains on the plan.

Full Meal Plan
The full meal plan allows students $3,196 dollars per semester and $6,392 dollars for the year to spend at any of the on-campus dining venues (see below for the breakout of meal plan dollars). Students must budget and spend all the allocated dollars loaded into their meal plan for the year. We also encourage students to use all their meal plan dollars for each semester. If a student has unused meal plan dollars from the fall semester those dollars will roll to the spring semester unless the student is not enrolled in the spring semester. Meal plan dollars not used by the end of the year are not refundable and will be lost.
Meal plan dollars will be split between the "meal plan" and "gold card plus meal plan" for the fall and spring semesters. $2,876 will be loaded into the meal plan and $320 will be loaded into the gold card plus meal plan each semester. This will allow students more flexibility with their meal plan money.
Meal Plan dollars are allowed in on-campus dining venues only. Meal Plan dollars leftover from the fall semester will roll to the spring semester, spring semester dollars will be loaded before the spring semester of $2,876, and leftover dollars at the end of the year will be lost.
Gold Card Plus Meal Plan dollars are allowed in all on-campus dining venues and any location with a "gold card" reader. On-campus locations accepting gold card plus: Bookstore, Mail Services, Campus Safety, FAC, and Outdoor Recreation Center. Off-campus locations accepting gold card plus: 7-11 (310 W. Uintah), Bingo Burger, Dale Street Bistro Cafe, Evergreen Restaurant, Jimmy John's, Odyssey Gastropub, and Safeway (2210 N. Wahsatch). Gold card plus meal plan dollars leftover from the fall semester will roll to the spring semester, spring semester dollars will be loaded before the spring semester of $320, the leftover dollars will roll to the next year. No refunds will be allowed on Gold Card Plus Meal Plan $$ until the student graduates or withdrawals from the college.
To calculate meal plan funds by block, divide $2,876 by four blocks to see how much you can spend for one block (3 1/2 weeks). The per block allocation is $719, this should help when you are budgeting your meal plan dollars.
The full meal plan has a $700 infrastructure fee that is charged along with the meal plan dollars to each student's account and is due with the tuition and fees owed for the semester.
Apartment Meal Plan
The apartment meal plan allows students living in apartments the flexibility to utilize the on-campus venues vs. cooking at their residence on campus. The plan offers the student $572 per semester with no infrastructure fee. Meal plan dollars leftover from the fall semester will roll to the spring semester. The semester dollars will be loaded before the spring semester of $572, and leftover dollars at the end of the year will be lost.
