Meal Plan Changes First Week of Classes

During the first week of classes through the last day of the drop/add period, students may upgrade or downgrade their meal plans.

Meal Plan Requirements:

• Freshmen living on campus and upper-class students in traditional residence halls must select either the All Access or 200 Block meal plan.
• Upper-class students living in Chesapeake Hall, Sea Gull Square, or Sea Gull Village may choose between any available meal plan or opt not to carry one.
• Students living off campus are also welcome to purchase a meal plan if they wish.
• Meal plans are selected per semester, not per academic year. Meal plans expire on the last day of classes each spring and fall semester.

A $25.00 processing fee will be charged for all meal plan changes.

When changing plans:

Meals, Guest Passes, and Dining Dollars used under the original plan will be adjusted to the new plan.

If you have used more Dining Dollars than are included in your new plan, you will be billed for the difference.

Meal Plan Changes After First Week of Classes

Meal plan changes after the first week of classes require approval of the UDS Director. If additional meals are needed, students have two options for purchase. An add-on of the 75 or 45 Block Meal Plan, or students may also add extra Dining Dollars to an existing plan and receive a 10% bonus in Dining Dollars for every dollar added. Students who haven’t purchased a meal plan may do so at any time during the semester. Meal plans are not prorated.

Meal Plan Drop/Withdrawal

Students who drop/withdrawal from a meal plan will be charged $12.50 per meal eaten and any Dining Dollars used. Any remaining Dining Dollars will be forfeited. The meal plan credit would be based on the Meal Plan Refund Schedule, as long as the students’ usage of meals and Dining Dollars does not exceed their net charge.

For more information about meal plans please visit the Dining Services Mean Plan drop/withdrawal page.

Adjustments For Housing And Meal Plans After The Start Of The Semester

One the semester has begun and students have moved into their housing or started using their meal plans, refunds for Housing or Meal Plans will not be refunded at 100%.

Housing Withdraws: After occupancy, students who withdraw may receive a refund of room charges on a pro-rated basis.  Refunds are determined by the date the student properly checks out of their assigned residence space.  All refunds remain subject to the Refund Schedule published on the Cashier’s website.  After the pro-rated refund period, no refunds of any amount will be issued.

Room Change Housing Rate Adjustment: When a resident’s housing assignment is changed after the semester starts, there may be an adjustment in the form of a credit or debit based on the type of re-assignment.  The adjustment to the rate, if necessary, will be prorated based on the effective date of the re-assignment.

Meal Plan Withdraws: A students selected meal plan is in effect for either the fall or spring semester in which is it purchased.  If a student withdraws from the University, a pro-rated refund will be issued based on the Refund Schedule for the semester published on the Cashier’s website.  After the pro-rated refund period, no refunds of any amount will be issued.
