Meal Plans

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 one meal plan meal 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 the Important Meal Plan Days of Service and the 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 who have successfully completed 60 or more credits) 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 to this policy. More information about meal plans can be found in the University Dining Services contract

If you are a commuter, you are not required to be on a meal plan. However, many commuters find our meal plans valuable and participate in them.
