UWRF-SA-Options for Dining

All-Campus Events/Picnics

There are several all-campus events a year that are co-sponsored by Dining Services and included in your meal plan. This allows you to use your meal plan to enjoy the events and food, such as the Weeks of Welcome picnic, the Chancellor’s Late Night Breakfast, and the annual Unity in the Community picnic and more! Check out our events!

Catered Meal Exchange

You can use one meal from your meal plan to pay for one approved catered meal per term. Catered meals shall be decided one year in advance. Meals approved for the Catered Meal Exchange will be determined by the Dining Services Advisory Committee (DSAC) prior to the beginning of the Academic year.

Guest Meals

Specified meal plans include 5 guest meal passes per term. These may only be used in Riverside Commons in the company with the meal plan participant. Guest meals may not be used for Premium/Theme or Special Event meals, including within Riverside Commons. Guest meals may be used at all-campus picnics where the events serve as the primary dining option for meal plan participants. Guests meals expire at the end of each term.

Sack Meals

Sack meals may be arranged when meal times conflict with your class schedule, work, or other campus activities. To participate in the sack meal program, you are required to complete the Sack Meal Request Form. The form must be submitted no later than the day prior to the intended missed meal. Sack meals will be discontinued if you fail to pick up the meal two consecutive times without proper notification. Sack meal request forms are also available at the University Dining Services Office in the University Center.

Sick Trays

If you are ill, you may arrange a sick tray with the approval of your Hall Manager and/or the Health Nurse. To obtain a sick tray, a Sick Tray Request Form (accompanied by your student ID) must be completed and delivered to a Dining Services Manager in University Center at least one hour before the serving time ends for a particular meal period. The Dining Service personnel are not responsible for delivery of your sick tray. Therefore, you should make arrangements for someone to deliver your meal.

Transfer Meals

Instead of eating at Riverside Commons, several retail dining venues offer transfer meals for your convenience and variety. Transfer meals are only available during designated transfer hours and are limited to the identified daily specials. A transfer meal will pay for $6.00 in food. Additional items may be purchased, however you must cover the difference with a seperate form of tender.
