Pacific University's Flexible Dining Memberships

All students residing in the residence halls participate in one of our Block Meal Plans. Memberships come in many convenient shapes and sizes. By combining a "Block Meal Allowance" with "Declining Balance Dollars," you can customize a plan that's right for you.

Block Meal Allowance
No "missed meals"! You start the term with a block or number of meals. One meal is subtracted from your block plan each time you dine for dinner and weekend brunches. Enjoy all you care to eat at dinner and brunch in the University Center.

Declining Balance Dollars
Pay as you go - it works like a bank debit card. Your declining balance dollars are used for breakfast, lunch and snack items and the purchase amount is subtracted from the balance in your account.

Any unused declining balance remaining on a student's meal plan at the end of the fall semester will carry over to the spring semester. At the end of the spring semester students have the option to bulk-buy products and/or carry over up to $100 of declining balance to the following fall semester, providing the student is enrolled for the fall semester. There is no refund or credit given for any declining balance.

Meal Plans
These meal plans are designed to fit your lifestyle. So whether you're on the go or away from campus and may not always have time for three meals a day, an active soccer player that needs fuel for your body, or some where in between - one of these plans is for you.

Plan A : 60% of meals per term, averages 5 out of 9 meals per week over term.
*Fall term: 88 Block Meals + $650 in Declining Balance
*Spring term: 88 Block Meals + $650 in Declining Balance
This plan is best if you eat healthy portioned breakfast and lunches and snack a lot.

Plan B: 75% of meals per term, averages 6 out of 9 meals per week over term.
*Fall term: 110 Block Meals + $540 in Declining Balance
*Spring term: 110 Block Meals + $540 in Declining Balance
This plan is best for those who eat breakfast and lunch with occasional snacks.

Plan C: 90% of meals per term, averages 8 out of 9 meals per week over term.
*Fall term: 132 Block Meals + $430 in Declining Balance
*Spring term: 132 Block meals + 430 in Declining Balance
This plan is best if you plan on eating all dinners and brunches with light breakfast and lunch and don't snack often.

Cost for Meal Plan
The cost of the meal plan options is the same for each plan, letting the student select the plan which best suits their individual needs.

Fall and Spring terms $1,725.00
Annual $3,450.00

Students may change their meal plan during the first two weeks of the fall and spring terms. The unused declining balance amount will carry over from fall term to spring term. Students have two options for any available declining balance value at the end of the spring term. They may use their value to bulk buy products, or have their value carry over to the next academic fall term. There is no refund or credit given for any declining balance.
