Meal Plan Options

Meal Plans Overview

About Meal Plans. Take the hassle out of meal time and have your pick of four dining options when you live on campus at UWinnipeg! It’s all part of a new food attitude that embraces local and seasonal ingredients, cultural menus, and old-fashioned scratch cooking.

Meal Dollars and Meal Cards. Residents with a meal plan get a meal card that they can use at any of the Diversity Food Services locations on campus. The card works on a declining debit system, where the amount of your purchases is deducted from the card. Meal dollars are loaded on the meal card each term (e.g. Fall, Winter, and Spring). Depending on the term, unspent meal dollars are either rolled onto the next term or transferred to an expiring debit card. More details about how meal plans work are available in the Campus Living Contract ».

Meal Requirement at McFeetors Hall. Residents of McFeetors Hall dorms are required to select a meal plan as part of their Residence Agreement.

Medical and/or religious needs affecting this requirement may be submitted to Campus Living for review. Details of these policies are available in the Campus Living Contract. Download the Meal Plan Adjustment Form from the Forms & Downloads page ».
