Meal Plan Options For Residence Suites & CRS

On the License Agreement, you will have the opportunity to choose one of the meal options. Residential Suites and CRS residents are required to choose a meal plan.

Choosing a meal option that includes meals at Los Olivos Dining Commons enables you to take advantage of a special community way of life, which includes quality food choices and a friendly dining atmosphere. Enjoy "Great Food With Great Friends!"

Each meal option provides you with quarterly allocation of Meal Points to be used at all participating campus cafes, food courts, convenience stores on campus.

In choosing the meal option that is appropriate for your needs, please keep in mind that the 19, 14 and 10 Meal Plan must be used at Los Olivos Dining Commons, the all-you-care-to-eat dining facility located in the heart of the residence hall complex. The Value Combo Plan also includes 25 meals per quarter that are to be used at Los Olivos. The Meal Points may be used at any on-campus food service area or you can use them to bring a friend to Los Olivos.

There are four dining choices for Residential Suites and Regenerative Studies residents including premium, standard, minimum, and value combo. These plans consist primarily of Meal Points, allowing you to spend your dollars at any of the eateries on campus, including the Vista Cafe located within the Residential Suites community.
