Meal Plans, Changes, and Academic Breaks
Meal Plan Changes must be completed no later than the Tuesday before the first day of classes each term. Please use your favorite calendar or task scheduler and build a reminder for each term so you don't forget. Study-abroad meal plan review is VERY important and must be completed before the deadline. Unfortunately, we routinely receive late requests but due to the limitations of the technology we are unable to make changes afterward.
Meal Plans are designed for use during the academic calendar which excludes academic breaks at Thanksgiving, the winter break between semesters, spring break, and summer break. The cost of the meal plan and the number of meals are prorated the weeks before or after academic breaks.
