Meal plans are a fun, flexible and affordable way to dine on campus with your friends. The meal plans follow the all-you-care-to-eat service of ourtwo resident dining locations, Hale Aloha Café and Gateway Cafe, plus have the flexibility to use at many locations on campus with a retail value. The plans combine a set number of meal swipes per week with a pre-determined amount of retail points. Retail points (like cash on your dining card) may be used to purchase food at 9 locations across campus, making finding a place to eat easy.

The meal plans have a specified number of meals each week which reset every Saturday night at midnight. Unused meals will expire when the plan resets. Meal plan points expire at the end of spring semester. Any points purchased in addition to the meal plan will not expire.

When using meal swipes at our retail dining locations, like Campus Center Dining (food court), Taco Bell or Ba-le, each meal swipe has a value of $5.00. Refunds and credits cannot be given for purchases under $5.00. However, students can use a combination of meal swipes, points and cash to pay for their purchases. For example, if a student buys lunch at the Campus Center and the cost is $5.50, they may use one meal swipe and 50 cents in points or cash. Mulitple meals can be used to purchase a meal at our retail dining locations. One meal can be used each meal period at Hale Aloha and Gateway Cafes.

A person who purchases plan B can use up to 14 meals at any meal period throughout the week at our resident dining locations. They can also choose to use their meals at one of our retail locations. Meals used at our retail dining locations will have a value of $5.00. Anything above $5.00 can be paid for with the points that come with a meal plan or with cash. On Saturday after dinner, any meals not used will expire. Sunday will begin with a new set of 14 meals.

If you are not a campus resident you may purchase your plan at the Campus Center Ticket, Information & ID Office in person or by fax. Click here to download the Spring 2013 meal plan application form. If you have questions, please call (808) 956-7236 or (808) 956-FOOD (3663).

Please note that participating in a meal plan is mandatory for all students residing in the residence halls with no exceptions. Charges for the meal plan will be assessed from the first week of hall opening regardless of whether the student eats meals or not. For apartment and off-campus residents, meal plans are voluntary and will not be defaulted.

The 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 Campus Center Ticket, Information and ID Office to have their meal plan activated onto their card within the first five days of the semester. A photo ID can be used for the first five days of meals until a UH Student ID card is obtained. Returning residents can continue to use their previous semester’s UH Student ID Card. Lost or stolen cards must be reported immediately to the Campus Center Ticket, Information and ID Office by calling (808) 956-7236. 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 Ticket, Information and ID Office The replacement UH ID card will be encoded upon issuance. There is a replacement fee for lost or damaged ID cards. Students may also encode ID at Student Housing Services.

Meal plan changes will only be accepted during the first two weeks of each semester. Credit for a downgrade will be transferred to your MyUH account; no cash refunds will be given for the change.

Refunds are given for meal plan cancellations only; unused meal plans are not refundable. Full refunds are available prior to the first meal. Once meals have begun, refunds will be based on a prorated schedule and a $25 cancellation fee will be assessed. Refunds are not given for the last 2 weeks of each summer session. All refunds will be through your MyUH account. Cancellations must be done at the Student Housing Services Office.
