In addition to the cost of food, plan fees cover operational expenses
including: debt service, rent, utilities, wages & benefits, supplies, equipment, cleaning, maintenance, insurance
and UW System overhead. For the 2017-18 academic year, operating expenses are $909 of the total plan cost. Dining is entirely self-supporting and does NOT receive any funding from the State and functions as a regular business enterprise.
Each day is broken into four meal periods depending on location. Meal periods are breakfast, lunch, dinner, and
late night. There is NO limit on how many
meal swipes you can use per day, so manage your account accordingly.
Unused meals do not roll over to the following semester, so it is important to determine which plan fits your academic schedule, extracurricular activities, and weekend travel plans.
You can check your meal balance at any DSC register, in the PointCard Office (715-346-2012) or online by logging into your account on the PointCard Office website.

Meal Plan Waiver
As outlined in the Residential Living/Dining Services contract at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, all students residing on campus in a traditional residence hall are required to participate in the dining program. Suites residents two years or more out of high school (at the start of the fall semester) are NOT required to purchase a meal plan; however, individuals who have graduated within the 2-year requirement, are required to contract for one of the on-campus dining plans. A dining contract is effective for one academic year.
If you would like to request an exemption, please submit a Dining Plan Exemption Request Form to the Dining and Summer Conference office. All submissions must have appropriate documentation to be considered. Please share the Dining Exemption Request Documentation Form to your health care professional before submitting a request.
