Meal Plan

Lister Centre offers residents a meal plan similar to programs offered at many other universities across North America. Like most of these plans, the meal plan is mandatory for all students living in Lister Centre and is not intended to be “all-you-can-eat” or cover all of your food and eating costs in an academic year. Unlike most other universities, the University of Alberta has kept its meal plan commitment levels low in order to offer our students greater choice and flexibility.

Benefits of the Meal Plan:

• Frees up the time and effort you would spend grocery shopping and meal planning
• Provides variety and ensures your nutritional needs are met
• We do the dishes!

Please note that the residence was not designed to provide for full cooking and eating on the floors. Limited microwaves, refrigerators and stoves are provided on each floor in Lister Centre for preparing the odd meal or snack.
