Resident Meal Plans All residential students are required to have a meal plan based on your classification, however all students have the option to enroll in a 19 meals per week option.

The Residential Meal Plan options are designed to meet the needs of any active college student. As a student you have a choice of two meal plans based on your classification. These provide you a guaranteed number of meals per week. Each of the meal plans (with the exception of the 19 Meals Plan) includes DU Dollars, or declining balance dollars, that are subtracted from your account each time you select that payment option.

DU Dollars works like a credit card only in reverse. The DU Dollar value with the meal plan you choose is entered onto your card into the computer system. Each time you make a DU Dollar purchase, our computer will deduct the amount of that purchase from your account all students living in the residence halls must be on a meal plan. Learn more DU Dining Terms in our FAQs Section.

Dillard Dining serves a total of 19 meals per week; three meals a day on Monday through Friday, and two a day on Saturday and Sunday. When choosing a meal plan, consider how many meals a day you'd like to eat, and the number of days a week you'll be dining on campus.
