Fall Dining Update: Residential Dining Transition
*Due to the unique pandemic circumstances and multi-modal academic schedule this fall, the Spring 2020 COVID Emergency Discount Dollar Rollover policy has been amended.*
For students living on campus in traditional Quad housing, any Spring 2020 Discount Dollars will be rolled over to whichever meal plan they are enrolled in as per the requirements of the Housing License.
For students living in campus apartments or any other off campus housing, Spring 2020 Discount Dollars will be rolled over and available for use, even without the purchase of a new meal plan (as previously required), as long as a student remains enrolled in classes. If a student is unable to use those funds for the Fall 2020 semester for any reason, they will again roll to Spring 2021, as long as a student has maintained continuous enrollment. All remaining Discount Dollars of any sort will be forfeited at the end of the Spring Semester 2021, or the end of continuous enrollment, whichever is sooner.
The 2020-2021 meal plans are designed to provide maximum flexibility, value and convenience. These meal plans include declining balance funds called Discount Dollars that activate deep discounts at retail dining venues. All resident students are required to be on a meal plan. Meal plans are purchased per semester.
