Residence Hall Student Meal Plans
Meal plans can often be more cost-effective than purchasing meals individually.
Who is required to purchase a meal plan?
All residence hall students are required to purchase one of the Anytime Access meal plans, except for those living in Swanson Hall.
Residence Hall students must choose from one of the Anytime Access meal plans listed. Swanson Hall residents have the option to choose from any of the non-residence hall meal plan options.
Selecting a Meal Plan
- Students will select their meal plan when signing the Room and Meal Plan Agreement in Housing Self Service.
- Meal plan selections must be made by the last business day in June.
- View our video on how to select your meal plan.
Changing a Meal Plan
You're allowed to change your dining contracts during a one-week period at the beginning of each semester. Forms are available in Wilkerson Dining Center during this period. Question about changing a meal plan can be directed to dining@UND.edu.
Anytime Access Meal Plans
Anytime Access means you can enter Wilkerson Dining Center as many times as you like throughout the day. Come in for a meal, snack, or beverage any time the dining center is open - no meals to count.
