Two Ramadan meal options are available:
Residents who email their request to housing@illinois.edu may be reimbursed for the raw food cost of lunch and dinner meals missed during Ramadan. It is the student's responsibility to track their meal plan and not eat from sunrise to sunset. The raw food cost credit amount is $2.05 per lunch and $3 per dinner. Assuming a student does not eat lunch or dinner meals during Ramadan, they will receive a maximum of 7 lunch and 7 dinner credits per week during each week of Ramadan. Residents requesting this credit option should see the raw food cost credit posted on their Student Account Receivable (SAR) statement/e-bill. Students on the 6 Classic plan will receive a maximum of 6 dinner credits.
Residents observing Ramadan may elect to prepare sack meals for breakfast and/or lunch instead of a food-cost reimbursement. To do so, please notify a supervisor as you enter the dining room. Your ID number will be entered into the access system to deduct your carry-out meal from your meal plan.
