Dining Plan Changes

The Dining Plan selected is for the entire academic year. Changes are permitted during the first two weeks of the academic year only. A Dining Plan Change Request Form needs to be completed and all instructions on documentation need to be followed. Submit a Dining Plan Change Request Form at your respective RSO. Please allow two weeks for your request to be processed.

Residence Hall and Glen Mor residents are required to have a Dining Plan.

Learn more about our Residential Restaurants

We offer vegetarian and vegan meals throughout our dining venues daily. When checking our menu, look for the green (V) next to the menu item. Some locations offer Halal chicken and gluten-free options.

Treat a friend or family member to a meal at one of our Residential Restaurants. Some Dining Plans include free guest meal passes. A guest-meal pass is equivalent to one meal swipe. Guest meal passes are not valid at UCR retail dining locations. If you run out of guest meal passes or do not have a Dining Plan, Dining Dollars are accepted. Read more about Dining Plans.
