Dining Plans at UCR
UCR offers a variety of dining plans to fit your lifestyle while living on campus!
RCC students will be able to purchase a meal plan in person at the Highlander Service Station. Online purchasing is not available at this time but will be available in the future.
Dining plans are entirely optional, as each apartment is equipped with a kitchen, allowing you to prepare your own meals. Available at RCC we have the Basic Needs Resource Center that allows students in need the opportunity to access our food pantry.
Which Meal Plan Is Best For Me?
The Flex Apartment Plan and Scotty’s Apartment Plan may be the best options for RCC students. Since your unit includes a kitchen, meal plans are not required but can offer added convenience.
Please note: The dining plan rates listed on the UCR website are for AY 2025-26.
NOTE: There is no deadline to enroll in a dining plan. DINING PLANS ARE NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF YOUR RENT.
