Fall 2008 / Spring 2009 meal Plans

Freshmen now have three meal plan options! Choose from the 250, 200, or 19 Meal Plan. All freshmen meal plans come with Dining Dollars. Build a meal plan customized to you.

Step #1: Choose Your Meal Plan

  • Freshman Options:
    • 250 Meal Plan + 100 Dining Dollars = $ 2,510
      This Meal Plan gives you 250 meals to use throughout the semester however you choose. Take a friend with you to eat in the dining room & grab a Gourmet To Go or Bear on the Run -- all in the same meal period. If you run out of meals, you can always purchase more. Be sure to customize your meal plan by adding Dining Dollars and Guest Meal Passes.
    • 200 Meal Plan + 50 Dining Dollars = $ 2,060
      This meal plan is just like the 250 Meal Plan listed above.
    • 19 Meal Plan + 50 Dining Dollars = $ 2,060
      Students have access to every meal we serve throughout the semester. Access your meals during Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, Monday-Friday & Brunch and Dinner, Saturday–Sunday. (You will be automatically assigned the 19 Meal Plan if you don't choose the 200 Meal Plan or the 250 Meal Plan.)
  • Upperclassman Options: Choose from the three Traditional Meal Plans listed above or these:
    • 15 Meal Plan (no initial Dining Dollars included) = $ 1,963
      Access your meals during Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner: Monday–Friday only.
    • 14 Meal Plan (no initial Dining Dollars included) = $ 1,936
      Access your meals during Lunch and Dinner: Monday–Sunday only.

Notes: The 19, 15, and 14 Meal Plans are set up to accept only one "swipe" per meal period. The 250 and 200 Meal Plans are flexible... you can use unlimited "swipes" per meal period. Students living in the residence halls will automatically be assigned the 19 Meal Plan + 50 Dining Dollars if a different Traditional Meal Plan isn't chosen by the University Published drop deadline.

Step #2: Add Guest Meal Passes *NEW*

Customize your meal plan by adding meal passes so you can bring guests with you into the dining room.

  • 10 Guest Meal Passes $90

Step #3: Add Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars allows students to purchase food and beverage items at campus retail food locations using their UNC Card. Students who carry the 250, 200, or 19 Traditional Meal Plan will automatically receive Dining Dollars. Any UNC student can purchase Dining Dollars in increments of $25.

Residence Hall Meal Plan Requirements

All students living in a residence hall are required to carry a Traditional Meal Plan throughout the academic year. Freshmen can now choose to carry the 250, 200, or 19 Meal Plan. The 19 Meal Plan will automatically be assigned to all students living in the residence halls in accordance with their housing contract.

Those students living in the residence halls who are at least 20 years old or who have 20 earned credits are eligible to reduce down to one of the lesser Traditional Meal Plans offered. All meal plan changes must be done by the contract owner by the University published Drop Deadline.

Deadlines to Remember

The deadline to change/cancel your meal contract (includes Traditional Meal Plans, Bear Plans, and Dining Dollars) is 5pm on the University published add/drop deadline:

  • Fall 2008: Monday, September 8th
  • Spring 2009: Monday, January 26th
