Students living on-campus select a meal plan while completing the on-campus housing application. We want you to experience our dining options before moving to campus, so we recommend you plan ahead & decide what dining experience you would like to have while attending Admitted Student Day.
Below you'll find dining options that will be available to our guests. The week of the event, you will receive a registration reminder email that will have more instructions and information regarding dining options at Admitted Student Day.
Purchase Meal Cards
Admitted Student Day is a great time to experience our campus-wide dining options. Meal cards may be pre-purchased through the CU Online Store. Please understand that lunch in our facilities will be a very busy time and pre-purchasing your meal card will help expedite your entrance into the dining operations.
Guests will receive an email confirmation which will serve as your meal card for you and your guest’s entrance, so please have this email handy to show our staff for entrance into the dining center on the day of the event. Please note that presale Village Center Dining gold cards will only be accepted at Village Center Dining. These dining cards, if pre-purchased, are $11.65 per person. All other pre-purchased dining cards are $15.64 per person. All other presale black meal cards can be used at any dining facility that accepts meal plans. We will also accept credit cards at the door if meals are not pre-purchased online.
All pre-purchased meal card sales are final.
If you have been invited to attend a special luncheon during Admitted Student Day, lunch will be provided and a meal card is not required.
