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.
