Summer Dining Options and Changes

- Created on May 15, 2013
If you don't want to carry cash or a credit card you can simply pay using your OneCard. Add BlazerBucks to your OneCard at anytime via uab.edu/campuscard. Or, better yet, UAB Campus Restaurants is now offering summer meal plans! Check out the options on our Meal Plan Page and Sign Up through the OneCard Site.
While the Commons stays open, we will be saying goodbye to two long standing UAB Campus Restaurant locations. Blazer Cafe will remain open with limited hours through Friday, May 31. We will close the doors at 2 PM and start the process of removing and re-purposing equipment in preparation for the student center renovations starting later this summer. HUC Cafe will remain open until the end of June at which point it will also close for good.
Don't go hungry! Dining hours will be posted on our homepage each day along with a monthly calendar. And as always if you have any questions, concerns, feedback or just want to share your favorite story about dining in the HUC please send us an email at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Your Spring Semester Meal Plan & Dining Dollars
- Details
- Created on March 29, 2013

Need the 411 on your Meal Plan & Dining Dollars as the semester is coming to an end?
Here's a little Q&A to help you out!
When does my Spring Semester meal plan expire?: Your 2013 Spring Semester Meal Plan expires on May 10, 2013.
When do my Dining Dollars for this semester expire?: Your 2013 Spring Semester Dining Dollars expire on August 8, 2013.
What do I do if I have left over meal plans at the end of the semester?: Here's a few tips we suggest!
1. Buy a pizza from The Commons on the Green using your Meal Plan! Buy a few for your friends to share...or just to keep to yourself.
2. Eat at a new-to-you location on campus that accepts Meal Plans. They are accepted at The Commons on the Green, The Diner, Blazer Cafe, and ZeBi.
3. Adopt and feed an upperclassman...or three! They'll be very appreciative, trust us.
4. Since you use up to five Meal Plans a day, why not challenge four of your friends to an all-you-can-eat marathon in The Commons on the Green? We think it's a great idea!
5. Bribe a friend with your Meal Plans to help you study for finals! They're coming up soon, Blazers!
What if I'm staying on campus for the summer?: You will be able to use your Dining Dollars through August on campus! Additionally, we will offer a Summer Meal Plan option this year.

What do I do if I have run out of Dining Dollars for the semester & I need coffee from Starbucks during finals?: You are always able to add BlazerBucks to your account to take care of your coffee fix! Visit uab.edu/campuscard for information regarding BlazerBucks.
