Student Meal Plans

Freedom and flexibility, along with great food, are the core of our meal plans. Here at UB, there is always food close to where you are – and your meal plan offers the best value at all of them. From dinner at C3 to mobile ordering through many of our restaurant locations, we make it easy for you to get exactly what you want, when and where you want it! Plans for Fall 2023 will be available April 1st.

Meals and Meal Exchanges

When you use one of your meals in a Residential Dining Center (all-you-care-to-eat), one meal will be deducted from your weekly allotment. You then have access to the all-you-care-to-eat menu. If you use all of your meals before the end of the week, you may use your Dining Points to purchase a meal. The meal plan week resets every Saturday morning at 3am.

If you choose to use a meal at any UB Campus Dining & Shops restaurant, café, food court or food truck, that meal exchange has a dollar value assigned to it based on the meal period. That value will be credited towards your total purchase amount. Any remainder may be paid using your Dining Points. You can use up to two meals per meal period, however only one meal exchange may be used per transaction.

Meal period times are listed below. However, please check each location for availability and unit-specific times.
