You must be a registered student to use the dining portal. If you have just recently registered, keep checking back to see if you can access the portal. It shouldn't take more than a few hours to sync systems.

Summer 2025, 5/29/25: The dining portal is now open for you to choose (or adjust) your Summer 2025 meal plan. Please remember these meal plans don't come with Dining Dollars automatically, so if you want Dining Dollars, you'll have to add them separately. Holmes Dining Hall and select retail shops will open for the summer on 6/2/25. Summer meal plans and dining dollars are good for summer only -- both will expire on 8/14/25. Please see https://www.unco.edu/living-on-campus/dining/meal-plans.aspx for specific details on meal plans and when Holmes (and select retail shops) will be open.

Fall 2025: The dining portal will be open for you to choose (or adjust) your Fall 2025 meal plan at the end of July. If you need meals because you're moving on campus early, we will have Early Arrival Meal Plan options available in the portal on 8/8/25. Early Arrival Meal Plans are good 8/15/25 - 8/19/25 only. Fall meal plans are valid 8/20/25 through 12/12/25. Please remember that all contract changes must be made by 5pm on the Drop Deadline of each semester (Fall 2025 = Monday, 9/8/25). No change requests will be made after this time/date.

Spring 2026: The dining portal will be open for you to choose (or adjust) your Spring 2026 meal plan at the end of November. If you live in a residence hall but see Off Campus Meal Plan options listed, that's mostly likely because the system hasn't updated properly yet. If you choose a meal plan you're not eligible for, it will get changed to the correct one in January. Spring meal plans are valid 1/10/26 - 5/8/26. Please remember that all contract changes must be made by 5pm on the Drop Deadline of each semester (Spring 2026 = Monday, 1/26/26). No change requests will be made after this time/date.

Reminder: Meal plans expire each semester, but Dining Dollars balances will carry over from Fall to Spring. All balances will expire at the end of finals week in Spring.
