The Voluntary Meal Plan
Want to enjoy meals on campus and save time cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping? Purchase a voluntary meal plan!
The voluntary meal plan is designed for students living in university residence who want the convenience and accessibility of dining on campus. It's ideal for students living in East Campus residences as it provides convenient access to meals in the nearby Peter Lougheed Hall or Lister Residence.
The all-access plan provides unlimited entries to one dining hall throughout the school year. You can select if you want your meal plan for the Lister or Peter Lougheed dining hall on the purchase tab. Make sure to review the expiry dates as these plans do not carry over to the following semester.
The plan offers significant savings, especially on lunch and dinner rates.

HOW IT WORKS
Simply purchase a block of meals on your ONEcard account and you'll have everything you need to enjoy meals at the dining hall! Tap your ONEcard at the entrance to gain access and help yourself. You can eat as much or as little as you choose during the designated meal period.
Note: Your access is limited to ONE meal period per ONEcard entry tap. For example, if you enter the dining room during lunch and wish to stay for dinner, you will be required to exit and re-enter when the dinner period begins—just tap your ONEcard a second time and spend another meal credit.
Take-out is not available. All meals must be consumed in the dining room.
