In addition to the University Cafe students have an assortment of food options available to them. Options include Thanksgiving dinner served on campus, sponsored BBQ events in the Quad (always a popular event on campus), and a wide variety of restaurants in the area that cater to the many diverse tastes of the UAT student body.

Eat at the University Cafe

UAT offers an optional Meal Plan for all students.

The following are prices for the per-semester meal plan. Total amounts vary depending on each student's particular dining habits, but this may serve as a guide to what you may wish to purchase throughout a semester:

Meal Plans & Pricing:
Gigabyte plan includes 10 meals per week @ $1,200 dollars per semester
Terabyte plan includes 15 meals per week @ $1,400 dollars per semester
Yottabyte plan includes unlimited meals per week @ $1,700 per semester

Students may also purchase Byte Bucks, which use a pre-paid debit account that is separate from UAT's current meal plan options. This pre-paid debit method offers students additional dining convenience. It is a voluntary plan designed to give students more options for dining on campus. Byte Bucks begin at an initial value of $250 and may be reloaded in increments of $100. Byte Bucks expire at semester's end.

* Meal plans are exclusive to the purchasing student.

Benefits of purchasing a meal plan, eating in the Cafe:
Ordering a meal plan per semester cuts the cost of each meal purchased by $3.00 - $5.00 per meal. The unlimited-meal Yottabyte plan represents the highest value to students.

Eating in the cafe is convenient and healthy. A meal includes everything in hot/cold lines. Example: You may have a salad, chicken, soup and all the side dishes with beverage and have it rung up as one meal.

The cafe will be closed December 23 and will reopen January 4th.

To purchase a meal plan, visit the Meal Plan Order Form on the intranet.
