MEAL PLAN DOLLAR BALANCES

Meal plan dollar balances will roll over from 1st to 2nd semester only if the student has an active meal plan both semesters.  Students who do not have an on-campus meal plan for 2nd semester will forfeit any balance that remains at the end of the 1st semester.  

All meal plan dollars expire at the end of the academic year.  No refunds will be given for unused balances.

On-Campus Meal Plan Additional Information

All students who live in a residence hall must have an on-campus meal plan each semester and can choose from either the Gold Flex, Blue or Loyalty Dining plans. The location of a student’s residence hall does not determine or suggest which plan they should choose. Students living in Aspenson Mogensen Hall, Chancellors Hall, Haymarket Landing and The Priory are exempt from this policy but may purchase a meal plan if they would like.

It is the responsibility of each student to select the meal plan they want in the Housing Portal.  Students who do not complete their meal plan selection will be assigned the Gold Flex Plan.  

Meal Plan Dollars can be used at any campus dining location during each semester. They are used as cash equivalent to make dining purchases and have no cash value.

Meal plan dollar balances remaining at the end of the first semester will roll over to second semester only if a student has an active on-campus meal plan both semesters. All on-campus meal plan dollars remaining at the end of the academic year will expire. Meal plan dollars have no cash value.

Off-Campus Meal Plan Sign-Up

Off-Campus students are not required to have a meal plan.  However, we have two meal plans geared towards students living off-campus, in Aspenson Mogensen Hall, Chancellors Hall, Haymarket Landing or The Priory: Diner's Club and the Flex 50 Meal Plan. Both plans can be purchased on-line through eAccounts.

(Please note that the Flex 50 Meal Plan cannot be purchased after February 28, 2025 to ensure students have ample time to use their plan balances.  No refunds on unused dollars or blocks will be issued.  Balances may not be transferred at any time.)
