Meal plans offer a predetermined number of meals either weekly or by semester. A meals-per-week plan means that you will have the same number of meals every week, so you will not run out of weekly meals near the end of the semester. A meals-per-semester plan allows you to use your meals any time during the semester. Meal plans with dining dollars allow you to spend your dining dollars how you see fit throughout the semester. If you have a meal plan, you do not have to carry cash for meals on campus.
Convenience
Meal plans offer you the freedom not to worry about grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning. Meal plan participants do not have to waste valuable time leaving campus and trying to get back before their next class or meeting and losing their parking spots.
Value
You can use a value meal from your weekly or semester plan for full meals at Towers Dining Hall and your dining dollars at the GUC Food Court, Einstein Bros Bagels and WOW. Additional meals at Towers may also be purchased using dining dollars.
Nutrition

Flexibility
Everyone has different eating habits. No matter how you like to eat or what your schedule looks like, a meal plan can be found to suit your situation.
How to choose…
Here are some questions to consider when selecting a meal plan: • Will you normally remain on campus during the weekends? • Do you normally skip breakfast or eat only a light breakfast? • Are you an athlete or a member of the band? • How many full meals do you eat each day? • Do you tend to eat small meals or snacks rather than full meals? Up-to-date pricing information may be found in the most current addendum to the university catalog. Hours of operation for each dining location are posted at each location. Questions on these or other dining service subjects can be answered by visiting the Dining Services office on the second floor of the Guillot University Center, by calling the office at (256) 765-5667, or by visiting the website at www.una.edu/diningservices.
