Dining Plan

Hi. Welcome to Dining Services.

We're here to plan, shop, cook, and clean... so you can concentrate on college!

Dining Dollars are linked to your campus ID card, and can be used in UC San Diego Dining Services restaurants and shops. It's the ultimate in convenience when purchasing meals, snacks, and other essentials (like laundry detergent). Each purchase is automatically deducted from your account balance- just like a bank debit card.

Your Housing contract includes one of two Dining Dollar plans based on your Housing assignment:

  • The 2100 Apartment Plan
  • The 2750 ResHall Plan

The Dining Dollar Plan is designed to be flexible for an array of lifestyles and appetites.

For example: the 2100 Dining Dollar plan breaks down to about 63 Dollars per week. Room stocked with mini-meals, drinks, and sundries? 63/week will probably be plenty.

However, if you eat most of your meals with Dining Services, like to snack, or enjoy frequent lattes, consider one of these options:

  1. Buying Up (Only available from August 26 through September 12) later
  2. Adding Dining Dollars later in the school year
  3. Opening a Triton Cash Account

Please Note: We encourage all new students to attend the Convocation dinner on Sunday, September 21. Most of the Dining Services locations will be closed for dinner that evening, and a non-refundable deduction of 10 Dining Dollars will be made from the accounts of Freshmen and Transfer Students.

Staff, Faculty, and Campus Visitors: Use your Triton Cash account to enjoy the same delicious menu choices as students on campus.

Why?

Beginning in fall '08, you'll save 10% on EVERY purchase at all UC San Diego Dining Services locations!

Why Open a Triton Cash Account?

Triton Cash saves you money!
