How many points should I have now?
Cal Dining's residential meal plans offer the flexibility
and freedom that students need to dine with us however they want, whenever
they want. Our combination of residential and retail services feature
well-rounded options whether students are on-the-go or gathering with
friends around a dining table. Meal plan points can be used at all of
our eleven locations [four residential dining commons, two residential
retail locations, and five on-campus retail locations] and at our weekly
produce stand.

Resident Meal Plan Basics
Meal plans are included with students' housing contracts [except for
Wada & Channing-Bowditch apartment housing].You choose your meal
plan type, standard or premium, when you sign your housing contract, not
when you apply. If you didn't choose a plan, then you will automatically
receive the standard plan. More points can always be added during
the semester and changes to your meal plan can be made between the fall
and spring semesters.
Meal plan points are the currency in which students can use their residential
meal plans.
- Standard
2500 points per academic year, 1250/semester
Included in room and board rate
- Premium
3000 points per academic year, 1500/semester
Included in room and board rate, plus an additional $350 per academic year [$175 per semester]
