2022-23 Unlimited Meal Plans
The University of Maine requires all residential students, except those residing in DTAV or Patch, to purchase a meal plan to ensure that our students are eating, living, and learning in healthful ways. Unlimited meal plans are designed for resident students to enjoy the convenience of swiping in and out of the dining halls as frequently as needed, with no worrying about running out of swipes.
Learn more about Meal Exchanges and To Go Meals below.
First and second year resident students must choose an unlimited meal plan.

About Meal Exchanges
Meal exchanges are now offered at the Bear’s Den to allow our meal plan holders extra flexibility in their dining. Meal plan holders may use up to two exchanges per week and only one per day.
Each venue offers a different selection of entrees available for Meal Exchange. Then select up to one of each side to go with your entree. The sides include a bag of chips, a piece of fruit, a small meal exchange cookie, and a fountain drink or coffee/ tea. Signage can be found at each venue and at the entrance to the Bears Den with more specifics.
Additional items (or items not listed on the signage as included in the meal exchange program) are available for purchase separately.
Venues available in this program include:
- Harvest: Entrees include choice of large soup, large chili or entree salad

About To Go Meals
To Go Meals are now offered for meal plan holders as indicated in the contract. These meals are intended to be consumed outside of the dining halls.
To redeem a to-go meal:
- Ask for a to go meal when you check in with the cashier at the dining hall. The cashier can also give you the balance of to go meals on your account. (Not sure how many meals you have or how many are left? Ask the cashier and they can help you.)
- The cashier will give you a to go container. Choose the items you would like to take with you for your meal and put them in the container.
- Shut the container and take your meal to go!
- Questions? Ask to speak with a manager on duty.
