Any registered UB student may purchase a UB Dining meal plan, whether they live on campus or off.

Freedom and flexibility, along with great food, are the core of our meal plans. With twenty-eight dining locations in fourteen different buildings, there is always food close to where you are on campus - and your meal plan offers the best value at all of them. Whether you want breakfast at lunch, dinner on the run or a midnight meal, vegan selections or fast food, there are choices for everyone. We make it easy for you to get exactly what you want, when and where you want it!

Meal plans for students living in the residence halls will automatically be renewed from the Fall semester to the Spring semester. You may change your plan for the Spring semester in person or online until the date specified in the Agreement. More information: Meal Plans

You may change the meal plan you've chosen during the specified period.  Changes may be completed online or in person. All cancellations must be completed in person at a UB Card Office location. You may make one change per semester up to the date specified in the Agreement. Changes for the Fall semester will be accepted up until the end of the first week of classes. More Information: Meal Plans

First-year students living in the residential halls are automatically assigned the Flex 19 Plan, but may select from the Flex 14 plan as well. Changes can be made at a UB Card Office. First-Year students that live in the residential halls are required to purchase a UB Dining meal plan for both the Fall and Spring semesters. Upper-year students living in residence halls or on-campus apartments, commuters and graduate students may purchase a variety of meal plans. More information: Meal Plans

You can change your meal plan once online or you can change it in person with the UB Card staff at 1Capen. All deadlines associated with meal plan changes can be found in the UB Card Accounts Agreement in the Forms and Documents section of this website.

It depends on what plan you get, but most meal plans include a certain amount of Meal Swipes per week, plus Dining Points for the semester. For example, the Flex 14 plan includes 14 Meal Swipes per week, plus a certain number of Dining Points for the semester. We offer Dining Points only plans as well, such as the 600 and 950 plans.

For more information on the specifics of all the meal plans, check out our Meal Plans & Dining Points and Campus Cash & FlexiBULL Bucks pages.

UB Dining Plans may be charged to your UB Student Account (subject to terms of the Office of Student Accounts). Purchases may be made in person at the UB Card Office, or through Meal Plan Select at various times throughout the semester.

Dining centers have various closing hours each night. You can also use a meal exchange at many locations at any UB campus. You may also use meal exchanges late night at several locations. A full list is available at the UB Dining Locations page.

Traditional meals served in the Residence Hall Dining Centers are the best value. However, our meal exchange program gives you the flexibility to use your meals at select UB Campus Dining & Shops' restaurants and cafes. To view all of our dining locations and meal exchange times, visit the UB Dining Locations page.

You will receive your UBit user name and password at your First-Year Orientation. If you did not receive it or need to have it reset, please contact the CIT helpdesk. More information is available on the UB IT website.

Your meal swipes for the week are "re-filled" every Saturday morning and do not roll over into the next week.

You can increase your meal plan at any point during the semester. However, there is a deadline each semester to decrease your meal plan. More Information: Meal Plans

Meal Swipes are not accepted in The Commons, but can be used in all UB Dining services. For a full list, visit the UB Dining Locations page.
