This down payment is applied to your housing charges and is only refundable if you cancel your housing application before June 15, 2022 (October 15, 2022 for Spring 2023 Only applications). Please visit the license agreement for more information about the timeline and fees related to cancelling after June 15.
Failure to pay the amount on or before the due date will result in action by the University including, but not limited to, eviction, exclusion from meals, academic holds, payment due in full, and/or late fees.

FoodBucks
Each meal plan includes a designated amount of a declining balance credit called FoodBucks. FoodBucks can be used at any dining location on campus. When making a food purchase, simply present your WolfCard to the cashier and let them know you would like to pay with FoodBucks. The amount of your purchase is then deducted from your FoodBucks balance.
Meals and meal trades
Each meal swipe grants you access to The Den, our all-you-care-to-eat dining facility, which features a number of stations.
Meal trades allow you to use meal plan swipes at participating Nevada dining locations. Learn more about how meal trades work.
Meal plan changes
You are allowed one meal plan change during the first three weeks of each semester. To request a meal plan change, please visit your online Housing Profile and complete the Meal Plan Change Academic Year Application.
