Meal Plans for All

Enjoy all the best of UNT dining at a price that works for you! Best of all, most meal plans now last through the end of the school year instead of the expiring at the end of the semester. No matter where you call home there’s a meal plan for you. All first-year students living on campus must have an Unlimited Meal Plan. Simply choose from our 2 Unlimited Meal Plans when you apply for Housing. Meal Plans are optional, but recommended, for Upperclassmen and all other UNT students, including graduate students. If this describes you, you may select any Meal Plan.
