Meal Memberships

Our Meal Memberships are designed to fit your unique needs and provide a complementary experience while attending the University of Pittsburgh. With flexibility, convenience, and value in mind, the options listed below provide students with meal access at The Eatery or The Perch and declining balance dollars at your favorite on-campus restaurants and our campus grocery store.

Meal Memberships are provided by Pitt Eats, but are purchased in conjunction with on-campus housing through Panther Central. Students will select their Meal Memberships via the online Housing and Dining Application.

All students residing in residence halls are required to purchase a Meal Membership. Students residing in apartment-style accommodations may purchase one of the Meal Memberships listed below or one of our commuter options, but are not required to do so.

Non-guaranteed students will be assigned to a Meal Membership upon notification of housing assignment, if granted; these students are able to change their assigned membership during the Add/Drop Period in either the fall or spring term.
