Elevate has provided me with the relief of knowing that a restaurant grade meal is one click away! i also love not having to worry about credits going waste since everything rolls over!

The Elevate Meal Plan provides you great value, convenience, and I never have to worry about using it since all the credits rollover! The best part is that Elevate is partnered with some of the best, most classic restaurants in Chapel Hill, and the list of restaurants continues to grow. Elevate is a great meal plan option for all students!

UVA parents love:

  • Knowing student uses money towards food, as intended
  • Peace of mind that student is eating food they love
  • Saving hundreds of dollars with rollover meals
