Family Resources

Welcome, Catamount Families!

At UVM Dining Services, we know that when families feel informed and engaged, students thrive. Whether your student is just beginning their journey at the University of Vermont or is well into their college experience, we’re here to support you as a vital part of the Catamount community.

The University of Vermont is an educationally purposeful community, preparing students to live and lead in a diverse and changing world. As members of this community—whether we work, study, teach, or support from afar—we believe in the transformative power of education and in creating an environment where every student can discover and reach their full potential.

We invite you to spend time exploring our website to better understand how UVM Dining supports your student’s experience—before they arrive and throughout their time at the University of Vermont. This site is designed with families in mind, and organized around three key areas:

• Explore – Learn about our dining locations, meal plans, sustainability efforts, and how we support wellness and dietary needs.
• Navigate – Stay informed with important dates, FAQs, and tools to help your student make the most of their dining experience.
• Connect – Discover how we build community through peer-led programming, inclusive spaces, and open communication with students and families.

We’re here to help you feel confident and connected as part of the Catamount community.
