MEAL PROGRAM CONTRACT TERMS
This document and all elements referred to constitute the University of Wisconsin-
Platteville Dining Services contract for the 2015-2016 academic school year. Signature on the current year contract indicates acceptance of and agreement to all services provided under the terms stated herein.
By Board of Regents policy, all freshmen and sophomores, living in university residence halls at
UW-Platteville, are required to participate in the meal program; however, all students are encouraged to participate. This requirement applies to Southwest and Rountree Commons residences.
This meal contract is for the 2015-2016 official school year. Service begins after residence hall checkin each semester. Contracts cannot be terminated or cancelled except under conditions stated in the Meal
Program Cancellation or University
Withdrawal/Termination sections of this agreement.
Meal plan contracts are not valid during official school vacations or during an emergency that does not permit the university to provide dining services.
No refunds will be issued if the university is closed for short periods of time due to an emergency designated by the chancellor.
The meal plan account is accessed through the student’s University Pioneer Passport ID and provides service to all Dining Services locations.
Other individuals may not use your meal plan or
Pioneer Passport ID. Any misuse of your meal contract will be treated as a contract violation. If your
Pioneer Passport is damaged and is consistently difficult to read in the register system, you will be
required to replace it at your own expense. When a Pioneer Passport ID is lost, the student is responsible to secure their meal account and Dining
Dollars on-line at eAccounts web site: https://eacctuwplatt-sp.blackboard.com/eaccounts/.
Students may also report misplaced cards to the Meal Access or
Passport Office. However, using eAccounts is the most efficient and preferred method as the account is secured immediately preventing misuse of a lost card.
The university is not responsible for loss of meals,
Dining Dollars or Passport Funds as a result of unreported lost cards.
2015-2016
Resident agrees to have a working card, to observe all rules and regulations of UW-Platteville and Dining Services, and to honor the terms and conditions stated in this contract.

Dining Dollar is equivalent to $1 and offers a five percent discount on all purchases. If a purchase exceeds the meal plan cash-equivalency rate at a retail operation, Dining Dollars can be used to pay the difference. Dining Dollars will carry over from the fall to spring semester but are not available after the last official semester day in May.
*Meal plan prices are subject to change pending approval of the UW System Board of Regents.
