Residents
Our meal plans are designed to meet the unique needs of students living in our traditional resident halls who are required to purchase a meal plan. Our plans come with varying amounts of meal swipes to be used primarily in the Dining Hall, and Dining Dollars, which is a declining balance account like a debit card.
Freshman living on campus are required to select the unlimited or the 16 Meals plan. Returning or transfer students living in a residence hall or campus house are required to choose from one of the plans below.
The Unlimited meal plan offers 10 meal swipes at the B&B Café per semester to be used for a
predefined entree.
All meal plans include unlimited continental breakfast meal swipes at the KHIC Café.

Meal Exchange
One Meal Exchange equals one set meal containing an entrée, a side, and a drink.
Think of a Meal Exchange as your "ticket" to a meal at an event - they do not have a Dollar Value.

FAQs
How do I choose which meal plan I would like to select?
Meal plans can be selected in the MyHousing portal available to students or by contacting the office of Residence Life, located in HPCC.
As a Freshman, why am I required to have an unlimited meal plan?
This policy ensures proper nutrition during the transition to independent living, prevents food insecurity, and builds campus community connection through shared dining
Can I share my meal plan with my friends?
No, you cannot directly share or hand your individual meal plan ID/swipes to your roommate to use separately, as meal cards and swipes are non-transferable. However, if your plan includes Dining Dollars, you can use those to physically buy a meal or treat your roommate while you are present.
What if I do not use all of my meals or Dining Dollars by the end of the semester?
Dining dollars and unused meals will not carry over between semesters or at year-end and if they are not used before the end of the semester, they are removed from the student’s Purple Plus card. Students will not be reimbursed for any remaining dining dollars at the end of a semester.
Can I take food to go from Kresge Dining Hall?
The University of Mount Union's Kresge Dining Commons policy prohibits packing bulk food or taking a full meal to-go from the all-you-can-eat area. Regular entry via your meal swipe is intended for eating inside the dining hall.
Small Items: Casually walking out with a piece of fruit, an ice cream cone, or a cookie is ok, but tupperware or filling large personal containers is not permitted.
Meals to Go: AVI Fresh does provide designated meals-to-go located in our open are cooler, if you have scheduling conflicts.
