Meal Plans

— for all students

Enjoy all the best of UNT Dining at a price that works for you — no matter where you live and no matter your style. 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 – a residence hall, the city of Denton or a nearby North Texas town — there’s a Meal Plan for you.

All undergraduate and graduate students may purchase our Student Meal Plans.

Select Your Perfect Plan

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.
