On and Off-Campus Apartment/Suite/Commuter Meal and Debit Plans 2011-2012
Debit Plans
Skip the shopping, standing in line, cooking, and doing the dishes! We'll take care of it all when you sign up for a meal plan!
If you are a(n):
- Upper-classman (second year status or higher), Transfer, or Graduate student residing in RIT housing (apartments, University Commons, Global Village, and approved Greek housing)
- Student living in non-RIT housing (e.g. commuter, Province, Park Point, or other local housing)
NOTE: Upper-classman (second year status or higher), Transfer, or Graduate student residing in the residence halls and the RIT Inn may only select the All Debit Plan or one of the residential meal plans, and are not eligible for Debit Plans 1, 2, and 3. For fall term only, entering freshmen whose credit hours rise above first-year status (due to AP credit or college courses taken in high school) are still considered first-year students and may not select the All Debit Plan. The All Debit Plan may be selected, however, beginning winter term.
