All undergraduate students living in any of the residential colleges during the fall and/or spring semesters are required to purchase a residential Meal Plan. A Meal Plan must be purchased each semester of occupancy. Students who do not select a meal plan upon enrollment in Housing will automatically be signed up for the Unlimited Meal Plan.
General Meal Plan Information
Residential Traditional Plans indicate the number of meals a week a student can use in either of the two residential dining halls on campus. A meal week begins on Monday and ends on Sunday night. Residential and Commuter Block Plans indicate the number of meals a semester a student can use in either of the two residential dining halls on campus. Unused Block meals roll over from the fall semester to the spring semester but are forfeited at the end of the spring semester. A student's Cane Card is required for access to the residential dining halls as well as purchases made at retail locations.
Sign on to CaneLink (canelink.miami.edu) and under the "UM Housing" section, go to meal plan step and select your preferred meal plan. Once residential colleges have opened, if you would like to sign up or make a change to your plan, email diningservices@miami.edu. Please provide your full name, student number, and meal plan choice.
Dining Dollars are a compliment to your meal swipes; use them when you cannot make it back to the residential dining hall, or when you just want a change! Dining Dollar balances roll over from fall to spring semester but are forfeited at the end of the spring semester. Once the spring semester begins, you will have two Dining Dollar balances on your Cane Card, one for the fall and one for the spring semester. Dining Dollars may also be used at the residential dining halls if you have depleted your meals for the week. Dining Dollars are accepted at any of the food service locations on the Campus Dining Map.
Both Residential Traditional and Block Meal Plans come with five (5) guest passes a semester. Commuter Block Meal Plans come with two (2) guest passes a semester. Takeout options are available at the entrance of the residential dining halls; students may only use one meal swipe per meal period. (Example: Upon entry to the dining hall a student may elect to dine in or select a takeout meal option).
Residential Meal Plan charges for the academic year post each fall and spring semester. Commuter Block Plans are billed to the students account upon request for enrollment. Meal Plan charges to your student account can be viewed in CaneLink.

First Year/Freshmen students residing in Lakeside Village, regardless of room type, must choose between the Unlimited, 19/Week, or 14/Week meal plans. Students may select a Meal Plan at the time of the housing selection process; however, a change in housing assignment may result in a change to their Meal Plan requirement.

Requests for accommodations received after the deadline will be processed for the next regular term semester. The student is responsible for submitting the Accommodation Request Form along with comprehensive documentation. Request forms without accompanying documentation will not be reviewed.
