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.
