  Students living off campus are eligible to choose any meal plan Dining Services offers, including Dining Dollars, a combination of meal plan and Dining Dollars, or nothing at all. (We recommend carrying at least a small Bear Plan and some Dining Dollars.)

  For those students choosing to live on campus, the Off-Campus Bear Plans are currently only available to upperclassmen (sophomore and above) who live in Lawrenson Hall, at the Arlington Park Apartments, or in the UNC-owned Houses.

  *Averages are based on a 16-week semester. You can eat as many meals per week as you want.  
  

  The Basics

• Early Arrival 

  If you’re moving into your residence hall early and need meals, you can request an Early Arrival Meal Package (EAMP). With the EAMP, you can have your meal plan activated up to a week early for $25 each day.

  Request Early Arrival Plan

  With the Early Arrival Meal Package, you’ll receive the following for each paid day:

  • Three meals per day at Holmes Dining Hall.
  • If your meal plan includes Dining Dollars, you’ll be able to use those early at our campus retail dining locations (including select vending machines).
  • Fall meal plans will be active starting at dinner the day residence halls open.
  • Charges will be placed directly to your Ursa bill, so there’s nothing to pay up front.

  Days needed prior to move-in date.	Total Meals (only can use 3 meals/day)	Price
  7 days	21	$175
  6 days	18	$150
  5 days	15	$125
  4 days	12	$100
  3 days	9	$75
  2 days	6	$50
  1 day	3	$25

   Things to Consider
  

  • If you’re part of New Student Orientation or Lead On, please let us know when you submit your request. You will receive pro-rated pricing to accommodate meals already provided for you.
  • Once you’ve submitted your request, a confirmation email will be sent to you with more information within one to three business days. 
  • Cancellations will only be accepted 24 hours prior to your requested start date. There are no refunds for unused meals. Remember, guests are always allowed to pay cash at the door.
