About this plan

The 19 Premier plan covers every meal UCLA serves — breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, plus brunch and dinner at weekends — and lets unused swipes carry over week to week within the quarter. That is 19 swipes, not 21, because weekends are brunch-and-dinner. Premier also permits multiple swipes in a single meal period, unlike Regular's one entry. If you expect to eat most meals on campus but want a buffer for travel, busy weeks, or guests, this is the most flexible plan UCLA offers.

At $217 per week across UCLA's 33-week academic year, the 19 Premier plan averages $2,388 per quarter when billed.
