Meal Plan FAQ

This page will provide a brief FAQ regarding TWU Meal Plans. For more detailed information, please visit our Dining Website.

What is a Meal Plan?

If you are living in Residence, a meal plan is mandatory. This Meal Plan will give you access to the Langley Campus all-you-care-to-eat (AYCTE) Cafeteria located in the Reimer Student Centre. The all-you-care-to-eat (AYCTE) plans allow you to enjoy limitless options for breakfast, lunch, snack-time and dinner. Meal time with the AYCTE program is about much more than just great food. It’s a chance to recharge, catch up with friends, and have fun! With a variety of choices for plans you can choose from an all-access plan to blocks. The dine-in meal plan allows you to “swipe” into the dining facility using your Student ID Card and enjoy all-you-care-to-eat. Those who commute to campus have the option to buy a Meal Plan in Blocks as well!

How do I get a Meal Plan?

If you are a resident, the meal plan is mandatory. In the housing application, you will need to select which Meal Plan you would like to be placed on.

*Note that the Apartment Base Meal plan is available only for FRASER APARTMENTS, MCMILLAN APARTMENTS and other apartment style (4 people) pods with a kitchen.

If you are a commuter (living OFF campus) you have the option to purchase a meal plan HERE. The charges will be added to your student account.
