Washington University's meal
plans operate on an "all points" or "declining balance" basis. This offers students a retail based
program, providing more flexibility and spending options.
Meal points are allocated on a semester basis. This assists
students budget their meal plan points. Points not used during the Fall Semester will
carry-over to the Spring Semester. Points not used by the end of the academic year will
be forfeited.Students needing to purchase additional points may do so at any time during the year at The Office of Residential Life, or on-line through WebSTAC.

Points may be used at any WU Dining Services location on campus. Points may be used for food and
beverage purchases only in Bear Mart and Millbrook Market. Students needing to buy additional points
may do so at any time during the year. The sale of points between or among students is limited to a
one-time transaction with a $150 minimum and a $15 transaction fee. Students may still purchase food
or beverage items for friends with their own meal card.
An evening dinner and weekend brunch "all-you-care-to-eat" option is offered in
Center Court on the South Forty. Al a carte pricing is in effect at all other campus dining facilities.

Student Meal Plan Descriptions
| Grab-a-Bite Plan |
Designed for the student who is a very light eater, who has a job or internship off-campus, or who because of documented medical reasons, may be significantly limited in what he or she can eat. (Note: Not available to first year students.) |
| |
| Meal Manager Plan |
A basic meal plan that will best meet the needs of students who eat a couple of meals a day and an occasional snack in the University's Dining Facilities. (Note: Not available to first year students.) |

| Square Meal Deal Plan |
The most popular meal plan among resident students! Sufficient for most of those who want to grab something light for breakfast, have a quick lunch, and have dinner with their friends. |
| |
| Meals Plus Plan |
This plan will best suit the needs of those students who want sufficient meal plan credits to provide for three meals a day, snacks and/or beverages in-between, and still enough credits to take advantage of special menu items or stock up on favorite items from the residence hall convenience stores. |
| |
| The Bountiful Plan |
Some students
require more calories due to their involvement in athletics or because they maintain a very active
life-style. This plan may be for you if you regularly enjoy breakfast, a mid-morning snack, lunch,
an afternoon "Smoothie", dinner and a late-night snack. |
