Fall 2024 - Billing a Meal Plan to your student account:

Signing a Meal Plan Contract and selecting a meal plan: 

All meal plan processes can be managed through the My Housing Portal:  https://uakron.mcrhousing.app  

  • Students living on campus 
    • Students will sign their housing contract and meal plan contract as part of the housing application process.  Students will also choose their meal plan at the same time.  Students living on campus (except for Exchange Apartments) are required to select the Gold, Blue or White Plan.  Students who select a plan they are not eligible for will have their meal plan changed to the default residential plan (Gold Plan). 

  • Students NOT living on campus 
    • Students not living on campus can fill out the Commuter Meal Plan Application at https://uakron.mcrhousing.app and choose their meal plan.  Students are not permitted to select the Faculty/Staff Meal Plan.  Students who select a plan they are not eligible for will have their meal plan changed to the default commuter plan (Commuter 25). 

Requesting a meal plan change: 

All meal plan processes can be managed through the My Housing Portal:  https://uakron.mcrhousing.app   

Students are able to request a meal plan change or a meal plan cancellation at https://uakron.mcrhousing.app through the 28th calendar day of the semester.  Students who make changes after meal plans begin will have their meal plan charges adjusted accordingly based on any usage that has already occurred on the plan. Usage from the previous plan will be deducted from the new plan.
