Meal plan and ONECard
The UVic ONECard is not only the official University of Victoria identification card, it's also a meal plan card, food card, library card, recreation membership card and campus debit card!
Standard Residence Meal Plan
Winter Session 2025-26
When you move into a dormitory bedroom (excluding apartments, Cluster rooms and pod-style housing), you are automatically placed on a mandatory Standard Residence Meal Plan. This declining balance meal plan is added to your ONECard and has an allotment of money that you can use to purchase food and beverages in The Cove (excluding Cove Market Express) and Mystic Market (excluding the General Store).
- Meal plans are required for students living in dormitories.
- Students in Cluster rooms, Pod-style housing or apartments can purchase the +PLUS account, a tax-exempt meal plan, at any time.
- Parents and students can add dollars to any residence meal plan through a variety of convenient options.
Visit the Food Services website for details on meal plan options available from September through April, including where and how to use your ONECard.
Although Residence Services collects fees for mandatory meal plans, University Food Services manages all meal plans and adjustments.
