  • A 300-meal block plan is required for any resident who resides outside of Antero, Copper, Crestone or Shavano houses.
  • Apartment residents have the flexibility to select from all available block plans, or none at all, depending on how much you plan to cook for yourself!
  • Residents will need to have Mobile ID installed on their phone to access their residential building and use their meal plan.

Don't forget to check your UCCS email regularly for important information and dates.
