Eating on campus is an important part of campus life. Whether it is a quick bite on the way to class or a casual lunch with friends, a meal plan makes life so easy! With options like Chick-fil-A in the University Center or Pizza Hut at the UC Satellite - eating on campus has never been so convenient!

You also get a 10% discount when you use your Cougar Cash at either one of the dining halls: Fresh Food Company at Moody Towers or the RFoC at the New Dining Hall!

More value is just a swipe away. Affordable. Effortless. Reliable.

Affordable
Whether you're eating on campus every day or just a few times a week, you could be saving money with a meal plan. Choose a meal plan and enjoy all-you-care-to-eat-meals at our  residential restaurants in Moody Towers and Oberholtzer Hall in addition to meals at Chick-fil-A, Taco Bell or any of our other restaurants!

Lots of options help you choose the plan that's right for you. By combining a Weekly Meal Allowance or Block Plan with Cougar Cash, you can create a plan that offers the best value for your busy schedule. Our Meal Plan Wizard can also help you determine the best plan to fit your needs.

Effortless
Once you have a meal plan, your Cougar Card works like a debit card.  Just swipe your card and the meal allowance is deducted from your account automatically. Flexibility makes it easy to get the most value out of your plan.

Reliable
Purchasing a meal plan gives you the peace of mind that you can eat what you want and where you want all semester.
