For parents
A key ingredient in making the year a successful one is ensuring that your son or daughter has the appropriate meal plan for his or her busy schedule. With time spent getting to and from classes, studying, socializing and meeting academic obligations, your son or daughter can benefit from not having to spend time cooking, doing dishes or even worrying about what to make for dinner. With the right meal plan, you can be reassured that your son or daughter is eating properly while away from home.
Food Services has one of the best dining programs around, with plenty of specials and promotions. Whether your son or daughter is always on the go, is an early riser or a casual eater, there's a meal plan to match his or her needs. By constantly working to keep current with the ever-changing trends in campus dining, Food Services offers an excellent mix of traditional, healthy and national brand menu options.
Students have the opportunity to purchase meal plans that are loaded automatically on their student card. Accepted like cash at all dining locations, the meal plan works on the same principle as a debit card. When you and your son or daughter selects a meal plan, consider his or her academic schedule, eating patterns and social life. To help you decide which meal plan you should purchase, we encourage you to read the Frequently Asked Questions and use the meal plan calculator to help you determine the best meal plan. You can purchase a meal plan online through this website or in person at the uOttawa card office.
