Are undergraduate students required to purchase a meal plan?

If you are an undergraduate student residing in a university residence hall (not a student living in university apartments), then you are required to choose a meal plan. VCU Dining Services provides block plans to students at the 300-, 250- and 200- meal, all with additional Dining Dollars. Block Plans allow a specific number of meals per semester; Dining Dollars is a dining plan option allowing you the option to purchase meals tax free at any VCU dining facility. Commuter students and students living off campus have the option of purchasing dining plans as well.

What on-campus dining choices are available?

VCU’s on-campus facilities offer students a variety of dining choices: from restaurant-style dining with soups and salads, sushi, stir-fry, homestyle meals and made-to-order features, including pasta, vegetarian dishes and specialty wraps in addition to take-out. On-campus cafés serve diverse menu options such as coffees and blended beverages, fresh bakery treats and gourmet sandwiches, catering to your tastes and busy schedule.
