What is the Difference Between Meal Plans A and B?
UC residence meal plans operate on a declining balance system. Your TCard acts like a debit card and your starting balance is determined by which plan you choose. After every transaction, the total cost of your purchases is deducted from your account balance.
There is no functional difference between Meal Plan A and Meal Plan B – just a difference in starting balance and price. Both plans allow you to purchase the same items from the dining hall and cafés.
Starting Balance
- Meal Plan A - 6593 meal bucks
- Meal Plan B - 5819 meal bucks

Pay your residence fees at any Canadian financial institution, either in person or online. You need your account number and student number, which are located on the top-right corner of your ACORN account invoice. This will ensure your payment is credited to your account.
University College or Student Accounts cannot accept payments in person. For more detailed instructions on how to make a payment from within or outside Canada, visit Student Accounts.
