Meal Plans

Sign Up for a Summer Meal Plan!

The meal plan program is available to all UWRF students. All dining venues are conveniently located in University Center. We offer continuous dining at Riverside Commons, the all-you-care-to-eat dining room, which is the primary location for students participating on a meal plan. The meal plan program offers students several options for dining including transfer meals , the opportunity to enjoy all-campus picnics, exchange the value of one meal plan meal ($6.00) for one approved catered meal per term, arrange sick trays when ill and have the option of a sack meal when conflicts with classes, work, or other activities arise.

There are times during each term when meal plan service is limited or no meal plan service is offered, specifically during the beginning of each term, finals week, holidays and term breaks. There are also events, such as all campus picnics, which interfere with standard meal plan service and dining venue hours of operation. The meal offered at these specified events will serve as the meal plan meal. Review important meal plan days of service and meal plan featured events to see those dates.

Mandatory Meal Plan Policy

All students residing in the residence halls (with the exception of South Fork Suites residents) are required to select a meal plan as a part of their room and board. Students may choose from any of the meals plans offered, with the exception of the 60+ Block Plan which is restricted to students who have earned 60 or more credits and commuter students. There are a few exceptions(PDF) to this policy. More information about meal plans can be found in the University Dining Services(PDF) contract

If you are a commuter, you are not required to be on a meal plan. However, many commuters find our meal plans appealing.

Summer 2009 Meal Plan

25 Block Meal Plan

Dining Services is now offering a 25 Block Meal Plan designed specifically for summer terms. The 25 Block Meal Plan offers students the opportunity to eat 25 meals during the summer term (Monday, May 18, 2009 - Friday, August 28, 2009). This plan is available to all graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in summer term or for undergraduate students working on campus and enrolled for classes this fall.

The 25 Block Meal Plan guarantees that breakfast and lunch will be available each business day. Students with the 25 Block Meal Plan have the option to eat in Riverside Commons (breakfast, lunch or dinner any day of the week) when a meal is being offered or students may opt for a transfer meal available in Freddy's C-Store every business day of the summer. Breakfast transfers in Freddy's C-Store will be offered Monday through Friday from 8:30am – 10:30am and lunch transfers will be offered Monday through Friday from 10:30am – 1:30pm. The Riverside Commons schedule is based upon the summer conference schedule which varies from week to week and can be found on the Dining Services weekly hours of operation. Please note that there is no refund for unused meals and the meal plan expires on Friday, August 28, 2009, prior to the startup of fall term. For questions email food@uwrf.edu(external).
