COVID-19 Update for Optional Meal Plans
UBC has implemented plans to provide the best possible accommodation and services for students given the fact that most classes will be held online during Fall 2020. Amenities will be adjusted to abide by health authority guidelines, and as such, meal plan offerings will be different this year.
Food Services continues to be open, and will remain operational during the Fall 2020 Term. Students on campus will have the opportunity to use a Convenience Plan at all operating Food Service locations and Campus Partners. Standard and Semester Plans may be available. Further details will be shared once the number of residence students living on campus has been determined.
