Dining Plans are for Everyone
Any active student, staff or faculty can purchase a dining plan. You do not have to live in residence. See Residence Dining Plan on the Housing Services site.
Note: All first year students living in University Hall, Kainai House or Piikani House are automatically enrolled in the dining plan, with no option to "opt out." This is a "room and board" program.
Your Student Identification Card is your Dining Card!
Your student ID card is your payment method for your food purchases. Without it you will have to pay cash, debit or credit card.
There are several Dining Plan Options to choose from:
For all details about these Dining Plan options please see Residence Dining Plan information on the Housing Services site.
Sampler - Available to anyone who would like to take advantage of the benefits provided by a Dining Plan
Commuter (Tax Exempt*) - Our most popular plan, designed for students who are off-campus most weekends and those with average appetites
Standard (Tax Exempt*) - Appropriate for students on-campus alternate weekends and those with larger appetites

I Lost my U of L ID card, what should I do?
Go to the Mycard Manager site and deactivate your ID card as soon as possible (Click on the Settings "gear" icon on the top right corner and select the "Suspend card" tab).
The card number you will suspend will start with "6018..."
If you have no immediate access to the internet, call the ITS Solutions Centre (403) 329-2490 to protect your Bridge Bucks and/or Dining Plan funds from being used without your knowledge. Note: This deactivated ID card can never be used again and must be replaced by visiting the ITS Solutions Centre (TH210) to regain access to these funds.
Please note - Deactivating your ID card here WILL NOT prevent your ID card from being used for other purposes including door access, Library priviledges, and UPASS. Contact the University Security Services Office (403) 329-2345 or visit at L911 located in the LINC building to complete the deactivating process.
