Basic Plan
This plan lets you come and go in the dining halls as often as you like during regular dining hours and without the worry of running out of meals. Eat as much or as little as you like. Enjoy a four-course meal, or just a cookie and a cup of coffee. No worries.
Dining Dollars
These can be used just like cash at more than two dozen locations across campus, including pantries, cafés, and markets located in libraries, Palmer Commons, and University Unions buildings. If you run out of Dining Dollars, you can upgrade your meal plan anytime or you can supplement with Blue Bucks.
How to Buy a Plan
To sign up for a spring or summer meal plan email mealplans@umich.edu with your UMID requesting for a spring or summer meal plan to be added. You must be a registered student for the semester you would like to add a meal plan.
