Apartment Dining Plan

We recognize your needs may differ from students who live in residence halls. That’s why we offer a special dining plan for students who live in on-campus apartments.

The apartment dining plan:

is optional
offers low-cost options
provides you a 10% discount at District Market
can be used at all campus dining locations

How to Sign Up

You can choose your dining plan level, the amount you want to spend each month, when you apply for housing.

How Your Dining Plan Works

You can use your dining plan at any on-campus dining location or vending machine at any time. If the location is open, you can eat there using your dining plan.

Simply swipe your Husky Card to pay for your meal. Each time you purchase food, that amount is automatically deducted from your dining plan—just like a debit card. Food purchases will always be deducted from your dining plan as long as there are funds available in the dining plan account. It’s easy to keep track of your balance—look for it displayed on the cash register when you make a purchase. You can also track your dining plan balance on MyUW, the Online Card Office or Student Housing Portal.

How to Make Changes to Your Dining Plan Level

Selecting the right dining level to match your lifestyle isn’t an exact science. If you want to change your dining plan level, you can.

How to Lower Your Level

You may change to a lower dining level for an upcoming quarter by making your request before these deadlines:

Quarter	Change due date
Autumn	August 31, 2026
Winter	November 30, 2026
Spring	February 28, 2027

How to Add Funds to Your Dining Plan

If funds in your dining plan have been depleted, you can increase your dining plan level in the Student Housing Portal as long as it is not within the dining level increase freeze period. Please refer to your Housing Agreement to determine the dates for the dining level increase freeze.

Your Unused Account Balance

Your unused account balance rolls over from quarter to quarter until the end of your agreement period. Dining funds are nonrefundable and nontransferable. We recommend you monitor and adjust your dining plan level each quarter to avoid having a balance left over at the end of the year.

How to Add Funds to Your Husky Card Account

Alternatively, you can add money to your Husky Card Account. Your Husky Card Account is different from your dining plan account. In addition to food purchase, the Husky Card Account works at the University Bookstore, library printing services and more. Food purchases will only draw from your Husky Card Account once the dining plan funds have been depleted. You or a guest can add funds to your Husky Card Account at any time in the Online Card Office.

Using your Husky Card has the added perk of no tax on your purchase when you dine at Center Table and Local Point during the academic year!
