Meal Plans


Faculty/Staff Meal Plans

UNCW offers several options for faculty/staff meal plans, all of which offer a great value for employees.  With a combination of both meal swipes and Food Dollars, these plans make grabbing lunch on campus quick and easy.  No need to waste gas leaving campus or worry about packing a lunch the night before; eat on campus and save!


Student Meal Plans

UNCW offers a great variety of meal plans to choose from -- all tailored to fit students’ busy schedules. Whether you are eating on campus several times a week, or just grabbing the occasional bite, a meal plan can save you time and money. With a meal plan:

  • You save 7% sales tax on every transaction with tax-free Food Dollars, and
  • There’s no need to carry cash or a credit card; it’s all on your OneCard.
