Meal Plans
Meal Plans at a Glance
This year UIC offers all-you-care-to-eat, anytime dining. You can eat all you want at designated locations, any day, and anytime (see locations and hours) according to the meal plan you choose. All students who live in regular residence halls which do not have their own cooking facilities (such as MRH, TBH or SSR) are required to choose a meal plan.
- Are you on campus every day of the week? Our 7-Day RED meal plan is right for you.
- Do you go home for the weekends? Our 5-Day BLUE meal plan is perfect for you.
- Do you have a taste for fast food too? Our Plus3 or Plus5 meals plan includes Dragon Dollar$ for use at additional locations.
The cost of the 5-Day Blue meal plan is included in all non-apartment room rates.
