Summer meal plans coming soon!

Enjoy all you care-to-eat-dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Mesa Commons and Pippin. Voluntary Meal Plan members are welcome to dine in Mesa Commons and Pippin during all hours of operation. Voluntary Meal Plan members and cash paying customers may dine in Brandywine Commons from 2pm to closing, Monday through Friday. 

Voluntary Meal Plans are available for purchase by ANYONE, including: UCI students and their families, staff, faculty, and community members.

Important Note: For students that live in Mesa Court and Middle Earth Housing, remember that your Room and Board Housing Contract includes your choice of any of the three available Mandatory Meal Plans. Should you choose to purchase a Voluntary Meal Plan, it would be in addition to your Mandatory Meal Plan. Sometimes students choose to do this because they run out of meals before the end of the quarter, or so they can invite friends and family to dine with them, beyond their 5 guest meals per quarter.

If you would like to treat a friend with your Voluntary Meal Plan, you will need to stop by the residential dining office to validate your Student ID.

Please choose the appropriate meal plan based on your class, study and work schedules. Once a dining membership plan is purchased there are no changes, refunds or cancelations. Non-payment does not constitute dining plan cancelation. Dining memberships are not transferable to others.

Voluntary Meal Plans plus FlexDine Dollars were designed to provide flexibility and convenience for those with busy campus lifestyles. Exactly, like last year’s Voluntary Meal Plans, meals and flexdine dollars can be used at anytime during the academic year**, and expire on June 13, 2008. You are not restricted to using an allotted number of meals per week or quarter, but rather, you have the entire academic year to enjoy your meal plan. If at anytime during the academic year, you run out of meals, then you may simply purchase another meal plan.

A new feature to Voluntary Meal Plans for the 2007 – 2008 Academic Year** is “FlexDine Dollars,” which can be used at numerous on-campus dining locations. Read below to find out more about this new addition.

NEW!! FlexDIne Dollars are sold in conjunction with Voluntary Meal Plans ONLY, and therefore expire at the same time on June 13, 2008. They offer variety, flexibility, and convenience to your meal plan. Flex Dollars work just like a debit card and are loaded onto your student ID card, along with your meals. FlexDine Dollars may be redeemed at 16 on-campus dining locations: 

• Mesa Commons
• Pippin
• Brandywine Commons
• Student Center Market
• Student Center Food Court (Quiznos, Wendys, Bene Pizza, Greens-to-Go, 
     Tortilla Express, and Rice Garden)
• Starbucks at the Student Center
