The following meal plans can be charged to your student account. To purchase a Meal Plan, complete the Meal Plan selection form which you have received (or contact the office of Residence Life) and return it as per the instructions you've received. Students enrolled in the Fall semester plan will automatically be billed for the same plan during Spring semester. If a student chooses not to participate in the Spring Plan or would like to change the amount of their meal plan for Spring semester, written notification must be received PRIOR to the start of Spring classes.
After the first week of classes, meal plans cannot be changed. At that time all contracts become final with the exception of extenuating circumstanceswhich will be reviewed by the College and Sodexho on a case by case basis. Once you have a meal plan, you access it via your student ID card. Only the person pictured on the ID card can use it to make a purchase, although you can make declining balance purchases for guests. |
