Campus Dining is excited to be opening the doors to our newest location, The Lodge Dining Center, Fall 2024! The spacious new dining center has been designed to comfortably accommodate over 900 students, faculty, staff, and guests! Your dining plan provides you full access to this comfortable, friendly all-you-care-to-eat venue, including its seven unique cuisines, roof decks with views of the Oval, and floor-to-ceiling fireplace.

Residential Dining Plans

This fall, we are pleased to introduce two new dining plans featuring exclusive dining in our new dining center. Each provides access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining experience and can be tailored to how frequently you choose to dine with us. Both plans come equipped with five guest passes you can use when you want to bring friends and family to share a taste of your UM experience at the dining center.

Maroon 7 Day Residential Dining Plan

If you are living on campus in one of our residence halls and find yourself on campus over the weekend, the Maroon 7 Day Plan is designed for you. For $3,586 per semester, this plan allows unlimited entries to The Lodge Dining Center anytime during operating hours, for everything from simple snacks to full meals. Don’t forget about your five guest passes; those come included in this plan as well. Plus, enjoy an additional $300 in Bear Bucks each semester to be used at any of our other locations around campus, including The Market (1^st floor) and Food Court (2^nd floor) at the University Center, and any of our coffee shops located across campus.

Silver 5 Day Residential Dining Plan

For students who are on campus Monday through Friday or find themselves exploring Montana on the weekends, our Silver 5 Day Plan may be the plan you are looking for. The Silver 5 Day Plan, at $2,978 per semester, offers unlimited access to The Lodge Dining Center during operating hours, Monday through Friday. You don’t need to worry about managing entrance swipes or weekly dining funds; every meal in the dining center, regardless of size, is included. You’ll also receive $100 in Bear Bucks per semester, to be used at other locations across campus.

Commuter Dining Plans

Commuter Dining Plans

Starting at $300 per academic year, the Commuter Dining Plan is specifically designed for students (not currently residing on campus), faculty, and staff who are looking for a flexible meal option with their schedules commuting to campus. Choose from four different dining plan tiers—ranging from 25 to 100 meals per semester—allowing you to dine at The Lodge Dining Center during the week without the hassle of meal prep or returning home. Perfect for grabbing a quick bite or enjoying a meal between classes at our new dining center, each plan is designed to offer both convenience and value. The Commuter Dining Plan ensures you never have to worry about unused meals; just pick the plan that best fits your schedule and dining habits, and enjoy stress-free dining throughout the year.

WHEN IS MY DINING PLAN AVAILABLE?

Your dining plan will be activated on Monday, August 19, 2024, and will be available for use on your UM Griz Card digital credential. Our dining plans are designed to be used during the academic semester when classes are in session and must be utilized by Sunday, December 15, 2024. When our campus is closed for holidays or extended breaks, limited locations are available; the new dining center may be closed. Bear Bucks can be utilized, and additional deposits can be made to use during these times. Unlike dining plan swipes, Bear Bucks carry over from semester to semester.
