2008 / 2009 Meal Plan Choices
All students residing on-campus are required to participate in the dining program for the entire academic year. The contract runs per semester. If you do not select one, you will automatically be assigned to the 14+75 plan. Residents of South Hall are exempt from this requirement. Off-campus students can add a meal plan by contacting the Point Card Office in the Dreyfus University Center. Off-Campus students, as well as residents of South hall that are interested in acquiring a meal plan will find their options listed below.

All 2008/2009 meal plans cost $1,016 per term. This covers the cost of meals, as well as utilities, maintenance, administrative costs, and debt retirement. Your meals can be used in three different ways:
- In the DeBot Dining Center, you can use a meal and get unlimited seconds and choices.
- Pointer Plate – your meal can also be used at the C-Store & Grill and the Dreyfus University Center Food Court for a specific meal. The Pointer Plate allows you the chance to try meals at locations across campus for just a swipe of your card.
- Meal Cash Equivalency – each meal, depending on the time of day, is worth a specific dollar amount (i.e. lunch - $2.75); you can choose to use that dollar amount toward your food purchase at the C-Store & Grill and the Dreyfus University Center Food Court.
How to Select a Meal Plan
- When selecting a plan, consider your schedule. Are you able to catch dinner in DeBot or grab a quick bite in the Dreyfus University Center before heading to an evening class or meeting? Planning ahead aids in making a meal plan decision.
- Food dollars that accompany meal plans provide the freedom to purchase a variety of items at dining locations. Once your food dollars are used, you are unable to buy more. Students can add PointCASH, which is accepted at all food locations to their account at any time. Learn more about PointCASH: pointcard.uwsp.edu
- You will have an opportunity to change meal plans each term. You will be notified via your campus email and flyers across campus regarding how to change meal plans.
