Residents living in 9-month housing (Potomac Hall and/or Harbor Hall 1st North, 1st West, 2nd South, 2nd West, 3rd South, and 3rd West) are required to have a Winter meal plan as a condition of the 9-month housing contract and will be automatically enrolled in a Winter session meal plan. For your convenience, all 9-month housing students will be given the Winter $50 Flex with Spring rollover option. This is because your housing license requires a meal plan for the Winter Session 2026, which is from Monday, January 5th, 2026 through Friday, January 23rd, 2026. Larger meal plans are available (see above).

Unlike the regular semester, Winter Session meal plans do not include Flex Dollars. If desired, these must be purchased separately as the Winter $50 Flex option. Please note that unused Winter Session 2026 Flex Dollars will carry over and be available for use during the Spring 2026 semester. As noted, meal plans will begin on Monday, January 5th, 2026, and conclude on Friday, January 23rd, 2026. Winter Session 2026 meal plans will appear as a separate charge on your student account.

Winter Session 2026 meal plan selections must be made by Friday, December 12th, 2025 to ensure that the charge will appear on your January 1st, 2026 Student Account (E-Bill). Click here to sign up for your plan today!

Winter Session 2026 meal plans (Winter Ultimate, Winter Savvy 16, and Winter Terrific 12) may only be used at True Grits Dining Hall.
