What is a Campus Value Plan
A Campus Value Plan (CVP) is a flexible, declining-balance meal plan that lets you save 5% on most on-campus food purchases. A CVP is ideal for students not living in residence and for staff.
What is the difference between a Campus Value Plan and a Student Meal Plan?
Where Student Meal Plans require you to select a pre-determined amount of money, CVPs are whatever you would like.
Student Meal Plans are designed for those living on campus and eating many of their meals on campus, and therefore the savings is higher (up to 13%),. Campus Value Plans on the other hand may be smaller as it's a self-determined sum of money, and therefore a smaller savings (5%).
Where can I use a CVP?
You may use a Campus Value Plan anywhere on campus, and with our off-campus partners. However, in order to receive the 5% discount, it must be a food service location overseen by UTM food service.
For example, the UTMSU (UTM Student Union) restaurants such as Chattime, the Blind Duck, and the Duck Stop are not run by the university and therefore do not offer you the 5% discount. Additionally, off-campus partners are not run by UTM, so they also cannot offer you the 5%.
You may still use your CVP money to pay, however you do not get a discount.
How do I open a Campus Value Plan?
To open a CVP you need to drop by our office (William G. Davis Building suite 3127) or email us at mealplan.utm@utoronto.ca.
When you first open a Campus Value Plan there will be an $80 minimum. After that you may add as little or as much to your account as you would like.
