If I live off-campus, why do I have to have a meal plan?

The University requires all undergraduates graduating after 2004 to be on a meal plan so that all students share in the cost of providing and maintaining convenient dining service locations on the campus. The off-campus meal plan also insures a convenient way to have a meal or snack when you're on campus and eliminates the need to carry cash.

How can I change my meal plan? Changes in meal plans are permitted during the first four weeks of the fall semester and the first two weeks during the Spring semester. You may change your plan at the Office of Residential Life in Nemerov Hall.

How come the money I pay for meal plan points doesn't equal the number of points received? The points you receive cover the cost of the food and the staff involved in preparing and serving the food. The difference between the points and the dollars paid is the overhead charge associated with the University's cost of providing the facilities and equipment for dining service operations.

How do I add points to my meal plan? Students have the option of adding value to their meal plan by either billing their student account through WebSTAC, or by purchasing points at the Office of Residential Life by cash or check. Points added to a meal plan may be purchased in $25 increments (1 point = $1).

What happens to unused points at the end of Fall semester? Any unused points from the Fall semester will carry-over to the Spring semester. Unused points don't expire until the end of the academic year.

NOTE: Seniors, your meal points don't expire until Commencement!

What do I do if I have lost my ID Card?

If you believe you have lost your card, report it lost/stolen to the Campus Police Department. Cards may be replaced at the Office of Student Records in the Women's Building. To prevent someone from using your ID Card for purchases, you may deactivate your meal plan 24/7 via WebSTAC. For more information regarding Lost or Stolen Cards visit Student Records. If you have lost your card during evening or weekend hours, you may get a temporary card from the Office of Residential Life, your RCD, or the RCD on-duty.
