Meal Plans

In order to meet your campus dining needs, we have designed the following meal plans for the 2010-2011academic year. To purchase a meal plan simply contact the Bursars Office. All Changes in the Meal Plan must be made in the first 2 weeks of the semester.

BLOCK PLAN OVERVIEW

The College offers a “block plan” rather than the “traditional meals per week” in order to provide maximum flexibility. We take pride in meeting each student’s food preferences and busy schedule. The plan provides a block of meals to be allocated by the student over the course of the semester. The number of meals consumed each week (or day) is at the discretion of the student. Each block plan allows for a certain number of guest passes per semester. This allows the student to bring a guest to the Dining Hall. These meals are included in your meal plan number. Students can use this feature for themselves as an option if they run short of meals. In an effort to afford the student maximum use of the block plan we offer:

  • Extended hours of operation in the Dining Hall will allow students re-entry during the same meal period. Optional meals in the snack bar (Grille) or Sandellas are available from 7 pm for fourth meal.
  • Meals taken in the snack bar will be deducted from the balance of meals available to the student on the plan.
