About this plan

The 19 Regular plan covers every meal UCLA serves in a week: breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Friday, plus brunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday. That is 19 swipes exactly — not 21 — because the dining halls serve brunch rather than separate breakfast and lunch on weekends. It is the lowest cost per swipe of any UCLA plan and the right choice if you expect to eat almost every meal on campus. Like all Regular plans it allows one entry per meal period and does not carry unused swipes into the following week.

At $196 per week across UCLA's 33-week academic year, the 19 Regular plan averages $2,161 per quarter when billed.
