Meal Plans, the 49er Account, and the Optional Dining Account all reside on the UNC Charlotte 49er ID Card.

A Meal Plan purchase provides these advantages:

• Convenience: One card is used for all campus dining purchases.
• Variety and Flexibility: Meal plans to meet your dining needs; numerous places to eat on campus including late evening and weekend dining and many popular, national brands.
• Diet Preferences: Vegetarian, vegan and healthy options are available at Crown Commons in the Student Union, SoVi in South Village Crossing, and many of the retail locations.

Overview of Meal Plans

• Meal Plan purchase is required by all first year residents (freshman, defined as students who have earned 29 or fewer credit hours) living on campus, regardless of their housing assignment. A meal plan must be purchased each semester of occupancy.
• Upperclassmen assigned to residence halls without private kitchens are also considered to be living in “required housing” and must choose a meal plan as part of the housing contract. These residences include: Holshouser, Hunt, Moore, Sanford, Scott, and the suites in Belk, Hawthorn, Laurel, Levine, Lynch, Miltimore, Oak, Wallis, and Witherspoon.
• Meal plans are offered based upon the student’s current balance of earned credit hours. See eligibility chart.
• Unlimited Meal Plans have been developed to maximize the dining variety and value offered by the new South Village Dining hall and Crown Commons.
• Declining Balance (DB) funds attached to meal plans are offered in practical amounts that have proven sufficient for most students.
• ALL meal plans purchased in the Fall semester will be automatically renewed for the Spring semester unless changed or cancelled by the student.
