Residential Dining Services
Welcome to Residential Dining at the University of California, Irvine! We are pleased to offer residential food services to all students living in the Middle Earth and Mesa Court Residence Communities as well as students living both on- and off- campus, university faculty, staff and community members!
For optional meal plans, menus, locations, hours of operation, nutritional information, and events, please visit www.ucidining.com.
Mesa Court and Middle Earth residents choose from two mandatory meal plans.
Both meal plans may be used at Mesa Commons, Pippin, and Brandywine Commons and come with 10 guest meals to use for friends and family each quarter. Guest meals and FlexDine roll over quarter to quarter and expire at the end of the academic year.
All-Access Meal Plan
Do you prefer to eat small, more frequent meals instead of three larger meals a day? The All-Access Meal Plan allows students unlimited entries to the dining commons and comes with $50 FlexDine to use at retail locations on campus.
Block 100 Meal Plan
The Block 100 Meal Plan is designed for students who eat on average 1-2 meals a day at the dining commons and plan to go home frequently on weekends. The plan provides 100 meals per quarter in the dining commons and $75 FlexDine to use at retail locations on campus.
Carry out Policy
Meal Plan participants may use a to-go container to take their meal from Mesa, Pippin or Brandywine Commons. All-Access participants are limited to one carry-out per meal period (e.g., breakfast, lunch, dinner). Block 100 participants may opt for to-go as long as they have a balance of meals or FlexDine left on account. To-go option is a convenience, and some restrictions apply, e.g., double portions are not allowed unless you specifically request just one menu item in your to-go container. If you want unlimited portions, you must dine in. Containers must be fully closed when leaving. Beverage containers are for drinks only and soup containers are for soup or salad only. UCI Hospitality and Dining reserves the right to refuse to-go containers if the policy is abused.
FlexDine can be used at campus retail dining locations.
