Meal Plan Information

Meal Plans

If you are living in the residence hall, you will be enrolled in a quarterly base meal plan of $1,319. Also known as the standard plan. This plan covers purchases in the Dining Commons and The Grind, PUC’s beverage bar and mini market in the Campus Center.  The standard meal plan offers student approximately 12 meals a week and a few beverages. Actual usage will vary depending upon students eating behavior.

For more flexibility, you can add funds to your account in increments of $100. Increasing your meal plan lets you enjoy all of the great things about the standard meal plan, plus you will enjoy added perks:

• Upgrade whenever you want. Just visit WebAdvisor to manage your meal plan.
• Rollover each quarter. Added funds don’t expire until the end of the school year.
• Added funds allow you to purchase prepared/hot food tax free!

Meal Plan Adjustments Requests

Meal Plan Reduction Request

Standard meal plans are only reduced in unique cases. Your request must be based on either medical needs or dietary/cultural considerations. Please note, should a meal plan reduction be granted, it will not release you of any other obligations as agreed to in the housing contract. If you have a documented food allergy, you may request a meal plan adjustment from the Student Life Office only after consulting with the Manager of Bon Appetit. For more information on the meal plan adjustment process, contact the Student Life office at studentlife@puc.edu. 

All meal plan adjustment requests MUST be submitted by the second Friday of each quarter during the academic year. Meal plan adjustment requests for the quarter will not be considered after the second Friday of the quarter.

When a student moves out of the residence hall partway through the quarter, a prorated meal plan charge is calculated based on the number of days spent in the residence hall.

Carryovers for Traditional/Flex Meal Plans

The standard plan may carry over a maximum of $100 at the end of Fall and Winter quarters. Any unused plan dollars are surrendered at the end of Spring quarter. All remaining Flex Funds continue to rollover until the end of the Spring quarter.

Commuter, Interterm, and Summer Plans/Breaks

The Commuter plan is available to residents of Brookside Park, Court Place, and community students. On this plan, you accumulate charges on your account (via the student ID card) and actual usage is charged at the end of each month. All meal charges must be paid by the end of the next billing cycle. This plan is not available to students who live in the residence halls during the academic year.

During the Summer, any student may activate a Commuter Plan to make charges to their student account by working with their Financial Advisor. Meals purchased during Christmas and Spring break will utilize the meal plan of the following quarter.
