Off-Campus Students

Commuter students may select a meal plan by submitting a Off-Campus Meal Plan Agreement application.  To select a meal plan log in and access the application through the Housing Portal.  If the application is not available after logging in, please contact Residence Life and Housing.

Residential Students

All residential students must have a meal plan.  Residential students select their meal plan through the Housing and Dining Services Agreement application process in the Housing Portal.  Residential students wishing to be exempt from having a meal plan may submit the Meal Plan Exemption Request Form. Meal plan exemptions will not be reviewed for the Fall semester until after July 1 of the current calendar year.

Changes to Meal Plans

All changes in meal plans, meaning increases or decreases, must be requested by the Friday of the first week of classes.  Any requests submitted after the first week of classes will be automatically denied unless the student moved from Eagle Landing or the UMW Apartments into a traditional residence hall.  In such cases the student will be assigned the smallest meal plan for traditional housing, unless otherwise indicated.  Note:  First time students on the Eagle Plan are not allowed to change their meal plan during the first academic year regardless of where they live.

If a student runs out of meals before the semester has concluded, the student needs to contact Residence Life and Housing to review their options.

Meal Plan Change Instructions:

To change a meal plan, students must go into the meal plan application where they selected their meal plan and choose a different plan. Choices are limited to what they are eligible to select. Changes to meal plans during the first week of classes must be done manually by Residence Life and Housing.

Off-Campus Meal Plan Cancellation

Off-Campus meal plans are selected for both Fall and Spring semesters.  If an off-campus student decides they want to cancel the meal plan for the Spring semester, they must request the cancellation by completing the Residence Life and Housing “Contact Us” form. Students can not cancel their meal plan in the Housing Portal.
