Meal Membership Information Dining at UTA will be convenient and valuable by choosing a meal plan best suited for your eating habits and schedule.  The meal plan lets you enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Connection Cafe.  You receive a set number of meals per semester based on the plan you select.  When you eat in the Connection Cafe, a meal is subtracted from your meal balance.  In addition, each meal plan comes with a certain amount of Dining Dollars that can be used at the Connection Cafe, the Plaza Food Court, Starbucks, The Market, and other dining services locations.

You may swipe in only once per meal period (breakfast, continental breakfast, lunch, midday meal and dinner), but you may swipe again to use Dining Dollars if you would like to treat a friend to a meal in the Café. Dining Dollars are dollar to dollar, much like a debit system, and they roll over from the fall to spring. If you run out of Dining Dollars, you can reload your card with MAV Money (also dollar to dollar) from the MAV Express Office. However, Dining Dollars on a Commuter plan DO NOT carry over from the fall to spring semester. Our meal plan program is completely separate from the Wells Fargo account and MAV Money system. Please inquire with the MAV Express Office for more information about these two programs. Signing Up Meal plans can be purchased at the UTA Housing Office. Please contact the Housing Office with any additional questions at 817-272-2791 or housing@uta.edu.
