Plan Options

Please choose your meal plan from the choices listed below. Please note that meal plan choices are due by December 28, 2009.

Students will not be defaulted to a plan for the Spring 2010 semester. Meal plan choices will be activated upon receipt of full payment or financial aid deferment approval. All mandatory meal plans purchased after January 8, 2010 will incur a $25 late fee.

Traditional Meal Plans Spring 2010

“Traditional Plans” entitle you to a total number of meals per week during the semester plus a predetermined amount of Retail Points per semester. These meal plans follow the All-You-Care-To-Eat service of a traditional dining hall.  All meals must be used at either Hale Aloha Café or Gateway Café.

For example, if you purchase a Platinum 14 Meal Plan, it entitles you to use up to 14 meals each week and $175 in points throughout the semester.  Keep in mind that unused meals for the week will expire each Saturday night.

Block Meal Plans Spring 2010

“Block Plans” entitle you to a total number of meals over the course of a semester plus Retail Points per semester, depending on the plan you select.  Each block represents one (1) meal at Hale Aloha Café or Gateway Café.  Blocks may also be used at select on-campus retail locations at a retail value of $4.75 per block.

For example, if you purchase the Gold Plus 195  Plan, it entitles you to 195 blocks in a semester and $55 in points. You may use as many blocks per week as you like, up to a semester total of 195

Meal Cards

Your University of Hawaii student ID card also serves as your dining card and must be presented at each meal.  New residents must bring their UH Student ID Card to the University Dining Services Office in Campus Center to have their dining plan account number encoded onto their card.  At the beginning of the semester, a photo ID can be used for the first five days of meals until you get your UH Student ID card.  Returning residents can continue to use their previous semesters UH Student ID card.  Lost or stolen cards must be reported immediately to the University Dining Services office by calling 956-3663.  Students will be responsible for any unauthorized use of lost or stolen dining cards. Students need to get a replacement ID card at the Campus Center Information Office and bring it to the University Dining Services office to have it re-encoded with their dining plan account number.
