Let us do the cooking and dishes. Meal plans offer flexibility, convenience, and peace of mind for both guardian and student. A meal plan takes one more thing off a student's already full plate and allows them to focus on their academics and extracurriculars while having healthy meals and snacks at their fingertips. The meal swipes are there for when students are hungry for a full meal, while the accompanying Flex Dollars provide flexibility when there isn't time for a full meal. Meal swipes are used in the Campus Center Dining Hall, while Flex Dollars are used in MacKenzie’s and The 1855 Room.
Students living on campus are required to take the all-access meal plan unless they receive a medical exemption. Flex Dollars are distributed throughout the academic year: $400 in the Term I, $400 in Term II and $200 in Term III. Unused Flex Dollars are forfeited at the end of the spring term. There are no refunds on the flex dollars.
This plan is best for those who only have a short break between classes and don’t have time to leave campus. The total meal swipes are distributed throughout the academic year: 50 meal swipes for both Term I and Term II, and another 25 meal swipes for Term III. Flex Dollars are distributed throughout the academic year: $200 in Term I, $200 in Term II, and $100 in Term III. Unused Flex Dollars are forfeited at the end of the spring term. There are no refunds on Flex Dollars. The cost per student is $750 for Term I, $750 for Term II, and $390 for Term III.
This plan is best for those who want to have the flexibility of bringing their own food to campus or eating in one of our dining locations.
