General Policies

The University of Miami requires all undergraduate students living in its residential colleges during the fall and/or spring semesters to purchase a Meal Plan. Food service in the dining halls begins operation the first day housing is available and continues through the last day of final examinations. The board program does not include a provision for meals during official University vacation periods. The student indicates choice of Meal Plan on the Dining Contract. The student's signature on the Dining Contract signifies acceptance of that Board Plan for the period indicated. It should be noted that once students have chosen a particular Meal Plan, they are not permitted to change plans until the end of the contract period. Cancellation of the Meal Plan will not occur without the approval of the Department of Auxiliary Services.

 

Please note that all requests for meal plans, changes, and cancellations must be done online via MyUM or in writing in the Office of Auxiliary Services, Whitten University Center, Room 125.

 

 

 

Simple and Convenient

There is no cash to carry. Since all transactions are on-line, the Cane Card, the University's electronic debit card may be used for meal access and to track meal credits and Dining Dollars. Additionally, all locations are on the campus shuttle routes.

 

 

 

Meal Plans Designed For You

NOTE: Freshmen must choose either the 20-, 14-, or 8 Kosher Plus Meal Plan. Students living at the residential colleges must choose between the 20-, 14-, 8 Kosher Plus, or 8- Meal Plans.
