Meal Plan Policy 


A student living in a residence hall MUST purchase one of the following University meal plans: Bona Platinum, Bona Gold or Bona Silver. The ONLY exceptions are students living in Townhouses or Garden Apartments and graduate students.

 

Any unused Flex Dollars and Block Meals will transfer from the fall to spring semester.  At the end of the spring semester, unused Flex Dollars and meals are nonrefundable and cannot be transferred to the summer or the new academic year.  Absolutely no reimbursements will be given for unused meal plans or Flex dollars. Residential students may not purchase Block plans.


Within the above-mentioned guidelines, students may change a University meal plan during the first ten (10) business days of each semester only. This policy is strictly enforced. Students are required to personally file the appropriate request form for a meal plan change by reporting to the Housing Office. Meal plan changes are done exclusively through the University Housing Office, Room 202, in the Reilly Center.  Meal Plans are not in effect and can not be used when the campus and/or residence halls are closed during specified vacation periods, Christmas/semester breaks and spring semester mid-term break.  There will be no dining services available on Thanksgiving Day or Easter Sunday. 

Cancellation of Room – A student requesting and receiving approval to break this contract prior to the opening of residence halls for the semester, or within the first two weeks of classes, does so under penalty of a $200 cancellation fee, in addition to whatever pro-rated cots have accumulated for the first two weeks of class if the student did not request to cancel the contract prior to the date of opening of residence halls.  A student requesting and receiving approval to break this contract after the end of the second week of class of a semester does so under penalty of the cost of the room for the entirety of that semester, in addition to the $200 cancellation fee.  In order to properly cancel this contract, student must submit a written request to the Coordinator for Residential Education and Housing for approval.  Once approved, a date and time for move out will be agreed upon between the student and the Coordinator for Residential Education and Housing.
