Dining Plans  

At U.Va. meal plans are convenient, delicious, flexible, and loaded with options.  Meal Plan membership gives you more than 20 dining locations all across Grounds with a range of hours from as early as 7:00 am to as late as 2:00 am.  With meal swipes and Plus Dollars to access all these services, you get guaranteed value, whether you eat on-Grounds three times a week or three times a day!  See our Dining Plan Options section for more information.

 

  

 

Signing up for a Meal Plan
To use our online ordering system for meal plans or adding Plus Dollars, you must first create an account with us.

To complete the sign-up process online, you will need your 9 digit UVA ID number (also known as your Campus ID).  NEVER use your social security number.  First years and transfers, you can obtain your UVA ID number at:  http://whois.virginia.edu/uid/.

Also, this system is automated.  If you enter an incorrect ID number your order will not process.  Please print this handy walk-through and begin the process of creating your new account online.

Cavalier Advantage:  You can always charge your meal to your Cavalier Advantage account.

Guest Meals:  Bring a friend to a meal!  Guest meals are a specified feature of all week-based dining plans; semester-based dining plans can be used at any time to host a guest.
  Adding Plus Dollars
Additional Plus Dollars can be added to your student's account at any time.  You may do this in person at the Dining Services Office, by completing a green "Add Plus Dollars" form at any dining cash stand, or online by clicking on the "Sign Up Now!" link in the upper left side of this webpage and choosing the "Plus Dollar" option.  Do not send the funds to us; the Student Financial Services Office will bill you.

Please Note:  Additional Plus Dollars are in a separate account, and will not show up on the card readers until the original contractual balance of Plus Dollars has been totally depleted; the new funds are then immediately accessible.

Dining Meal Plan Changes:  The deadline for downgrading or cancelling your meal plan for the fall semester has passed and are not currently accepted.  You can still upgrade your meal plan at any point.  Meal plan changes for the spring semester can be made between the dates of December 9, 2010 and January 26, 2011.  After this time period, you will only be able to upgrade your meal plan.  You can upgrade your plan at any time during the semester by submitting the Dining Plan Change Request Form.

Good nutrition is one of our primary concerns, both in relation to the individual student and the menus we serve. Click here for more information!


Plus Dollars are included in all dining plans, and can be used in any UVA cash dining location for food purchases, such as Chick-fil-A at Pavilion XI or Freshens Smoothie from Poolside Cafe or Pavilion XI. If you run out of meals on your dining plan, you can even use your Plus Dollars in the dining rooms.
Plus Dollars are not available to non-meal plan participants.

 

Festive Theme Meals and Change of Pace Events: Once a month we schedule a full blown special event, with a theme menu, decorations, live music, and prizes. Other times we'll surprise you with a monotony-breaker event.

Recipes from Home: We're always looking for new, healthy, and popular food ideas..it's your menu!   


In order to serve you best, we need to hear from you. We have set up many avenues of easy access:

  • Text-n-Tell:  Use our new Text-n-Tell system to send us immediate feedback!  Directions for how to use it can be found under Dining News and Events on our main page.
  • Twice a year customer satisfaction surveys in all locations
  • Open door policy: Something on your mind? Come in and talk to us!
 

 
Everyone is in a hurry sometimes; if it happens at mealtime, we've got you covered in both residential and retail locations. Look for "Hoos' in a Hurry" at the dining rooms and for "Fresh Flavors to Go" coolers in the retail locations for good food packaged to go.
