Unlimited Meal Plan for 2025-26

  • ​​​​Meal plan included with room and board fees for students living in the on-campus residence halls
  • Residents can use their unlimited meal plan as many times a day as they choose at the dining halls - J2, Jester City Limits and Kins Dining
  • Also included are $200 Bevo Pay funds ($100 per term) and $600 Dine In Dollars ($300 per term)

Dine In Dollars

Use your Dine In Dollars at our restaurants, coffee shops and convenience stores. Use Dine In Dollars by handing your UT ID to the cashier, and the amount of the purchase will be deducted from your account. You can add Dine In Dollars at any time. Dine In Dollars roll over and expire at the end of the spring 2026 term.

Bevo Pay

Use Bevo Pay at University Housing and Dining locations and all of our participating merchants to purchase food, goods and services on or off campus. You can add more Bevo Pay funds to your account from the Bevo Pay Online Services page.

Bevo Pay is being fully decommissioned in August 2026. Please visit our Decommissioning FAQs for more information.

Account Balances

You can monitor your Dine In Dollars and Bevo Pay account balance and spending online. If you don’t have enough Dine In Dollars to make a purchase, Bevo Pay will be used instead. When this happens, you will not be charged the discounted resident price at the dining halls.

Resident Meal Request

Any student who lives in an on-campus residence hall with an active meal plan is eligible to use this service to access meals during short-term periods when they are unable to visit the dining hall due to health-related concerns. Residents are able to pre-select meal options from a pre-determined menu using our online ordering form. Each meal request covers one meal period, costs one meal swipe and will be available for pick up at either J2 or Kins Dining. Please see the online ordering form for more details about when to place orders and pick-up windows.

A designated person, other than the resident placing the request, should pick up the meal during assigned pick-up windows to allow the student to rest in their room. If additional assistance is needed, please contact J2 Dining at 512-471-5095 or Kins Dining at 512-471-8058.
