2012–2013 Meal Plan Brochure

Consider your daily routine...Do you eat three meals a day? Will your class schedule, studying, extra cur-ricular activities, and social events interfere with dining? Will you miss dinner due to employment or evening classes?

ECU Campus Dining offers a variety of meal plans to fit your busy sched-ule. Eat in or take out - our meal plans give you the best value around. Use your meal card at any of the all-you-care-to-eat restaurants and retail locations. Purchasing a meal plan will ensure that you will not run out of “food money” at the end of the month. You will be able to take advantage of the meal plan specials, and enjoy a variety of tasty nutri-tious meal options.

Selecting a meal plan is easy.

Meal plans are designed for your convenience, budget, and taste buds.

Whether you live on campus or commute, dining is a major part of university life!

ECU Campus Dining is here to make your college years tasty. No matter what you crave or when your hunger strikes, ECU Campus Dining has everything your taste buds desire. Our dining locations feature everything from all-you-care-to-eat buffets, to food courts with national brand restaurants, to regional concepts, to late-night eateries. Whether it is American, sushi, pizza, Mexican fare, or a good “home” cooked meal you crave, we have it all right here for you on ECU’s campus.

Green Fact:We are trayless in our dining halls. It saves water, food waste,

cleaning chemicals & electricity.

Meals can be used in any dining location.

When dining at Todd or West End Dining Halls, one meal is deducted from your balance. As an added bonus, meals can also be used at any other campus dining locations. Just let the cashier know that you would like to use a “meal” to pay for your purchase and the meal equivalency rate for that period will be deducted.

Meal Equivalency Rate

Benefits to Having a Meal Plan

Budget: You never have to worry about running out of ”food money” at the end of the month. Once you buy a meal plan, your plan is inflation-proof.Health: Studies show that students on a meal plan eat healthier and are more satisfied with their dining experience. Even commuters are more satisfied with a meal plan than having to juggle meal planning on their own.Value: Whether it’s the ability to get seconds without paying extra at Todd and West End Dining Hall or a great deal at many of our retail locations, campus dining offers a world of value. The money you save always comes in handy.Convenience: With so many dining locations, great food is just a short walk from anywhere on campus!Time: Studying, shopping for food, cooking, and cleaning up all takes valuable time. College life is hectic enough. Let us prepare your meals so you can spend your time doing more important things.

Meal equivalency is the cash equivalent of a meal.

If you eat lunch at one of our a la carte locations, a “lunch meal” is worth $3.00 toward your purchase. If the purchase is over $3.00, you pay the difference with your Pirate Bucks account, cash, or credit card.
