All students are welcome to purchase a meal plan or Jacket Cash for use in the dining services. Freshmen and sophomores who are required to live in the residence halls MUST sign up for a meal plan.

Superior Plan participants will have access to the Union Cafe during all scheduled hours. The Union Cafe will provide service from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday – Friday and from 11:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on the weekends. Superior Plan participants must use their Jacket Cash or U.S. dollars for retail purchases. As an added bonus, Superior Plan participants will receive 5 guest passes during the third week of each semester and meals for visiting family members will be complimentary on move in day (August 30, 2012) for fall semester.

Black & Gold plan meals may be used in the Union Cafe or for daily combos offered in retail serveries anytime the dining locations are open. Students may use as many meals per meal period (Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner) as they want to and may provide meals for guests. The Black & Gold Plan may be customized at the Union Information/Service Desk any time after the first day of classes by: using Jacket Cash or U.S. dollars to buy additional blocks of 10 meals for $70, converting meals to Jacket Cash in blocks of 10 meals for $67.50, or adding Jacket Cash with deposits of $25.00 or more.

A Jacket Cash Account is a declining cash balance account that allows you to use your UW-Superior ID card to "purchase" food and non-alcoholic beverages in the Union Cafe, Brick Oven Grille, and Jacket Java at discounted prices.
