Resident Meal Plans 2009-2010
Students residing in a residence hall must select a resident plan. Freshmen may choose one of the four flexible meal plans described below. First year students are considered freshmen.
All "Plus" plans include a debit account. You may add to this debit account at any time. Adding a debit account is optional, (but encouraged) if choosing the Ultra Meal Plan.
What mom's say about the new Ultra Meal Plan:
"This is the best possible fit for our son!! He has always been one who would rather graze his way through the day. He feels best and works best when able to do so. This plan allows him to do just that!! This plan also allows him to plan his meals at times that work conveniently around his classes. He has one class that coincides with lunch and another that comes at supper time. With the Ultra meal plan neither of these is a problem!! Thank you so much for designing such a wonderful program. We couldn't be more happy. It is a big relief for me to know that my son who is over eight hours from home, and away from home for the first time in his life, has this basic need so well met." --- Rosalie B. Mosher
Resident Plans
All-you-care-to-eat meal plans are accepted in Gracie’s Dining Hall. Included in the set number of weekly meals (14, 12, 10) and the Ultra Meal Plan, are five meal options* that may be used in a Dining Service's area other than Gracie's.
Meal plan choices for first year students are:
Ultra Meal Plan: Unlimited meals with unlimited seconds.
Any 14 plus: Any 14 meals per week with unlimited seconds plus $91 per quarter in debit.
Any 12 Plus: Any 12 meals per week with unlimited seconds plus $234 per quarter in debit.
Any 10 Plus: Any 10 meals per week with unlimited seconds plus $377 per quarter in debit.
When a meal plan is purchased, Dining services will roll-over up to $54.12 of your debit balance from fall and winter quarters, adding it to the next quarter’s beginning debit amount. There will be no roll-over at the end of the spring quarter, so plan to spend the entire balance by that date. A refund of unused debit money is only available if 1) you withdraw from the university (graduation does not constitute withdrawal); or 2) you incur an academic or disciplinary dismissal.
You may add money to the debit account at any time throughout the year. Deposits are accepted in person with cash, check, or credit card at the Dining Services Office or Student Financial Services Office. Visa or Mastercard deposits are accepted by telephone at 1-800-724-5104.
Deposits may also be made by visiting us online at eServices.
* How do meal options work? Every meal plan offers five meal options per week. For example, if you have the 14 Plus meal plan, five of the 14 meals may be eaten in other dining service areas and are valued at $6.50. Simply ask the cashier to use a meal option when paying for a meal. If your meal costs more than the $6.50, you pay the difference with cash, debit, or Tiger Bucks.
| Meal Plan | Meals/week | Meal Options * | Debit | Cost/quarter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra Meal Plan | Unlimited Meals at Gracie's | 5 | $0 | $1,517 |
| Any 14 Plus | 14 | 5 | $91 | $1,353 |
