Meal Plans

Commuter Student & Employee Meal Plans

Commuter Meal Plans are the 10-Block and 50-Block meal plans. The 125-Block, 150-Block, and 175-Block Meal Plans are HRE Plans and are managed by the Housing Department, who can be reached at housing@du.edu or 303-871-2246. Commuter plans are available ONLY to faculty, staff, commuter, 3rd year, 4th year, continuing education, graduate students, or students who have used their entire HRE meal plan and need to purchase additional meals for the quarter.

Students may purchase a Commuter Meal Plan through DU Pay, here. Employees, Students, and all other DU Community Members may purchase a Commuter Meal Plan in the ID Office with Flex or Cash. Purchased Commuter Meal Plans are nonrefundable.

Purchased Commuter Meal Plans become active on or before the end of business on the business day after the purchase is made. For example: if a plan is purchased on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, it will become active during the following Monday, no later than 5pm.

The 10-Block Meal Plan is $95.00 and comes with 10 Meals which can be used at any of the eight dining stations in the Rebecca Chopp Grand Central Market, in the Community Commons. Any unused 10-Block meals expire at the end of the academic year.

The 50-Block Meal Plan is $695.00 and comes with 50 Meals and $300 of Meal Plan Cash. The 50 Meals may be used at any of the eight dining stations in the Rebecca Chopp Grand Central Market in the Community Commons. The $300.00 of Meal Plan Cash may be used at any of our on-campus dining locations, including Starbucks and Einstein Bros. Bagels. Any unused 50-Block meals will expire at the end of the quarter in which they were purchased. Currently, 50-Block meal plans are still assigned to Winter Quarter 2023. Spring Quarter 50-Block purchases will become available starting on March 20th.

All community members may check their meal plan usage history and remaining balances through our eAccounts Card Management Portal.
