We currently offer three declining-balance plans:
On-campus residents who are involved in full-day (7 hours or more) academic assignments (student teaching, nursing clincal assignments, internships, etc.) for 2 or more days a week a minimum of 8 weeks of the semester, have the option to contract for a reduced meal plan that is more compatible with use for dinner and weekend-only schedules. The reduced meal plan rate for 2008-2009 is $45/week for Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 ($720 per semester). A student who is enrolled for a qualifying course(s) for Fall semester will automatically be assigned a Gold meal plan for Spring semester unless the student has requested a higher meal plan, or has submitted and had approved another Academic Assignments Meal Plan Option request for Spring.
Meal plans may be redeemed in any of the dining units (Neptune, Lincoln, Douglas, Grant and Stevenson).
The weekly plan value will be allocated to each resident Monday at 12:01 a.m. Any unused portion of the weekly allocation will expire Sunday at 11:00 p.m. and is not refundable. You will need to plan your weekly expenditures to fully utilize the value of the plan. In weeks that are shortened due to University holidays/breaks, you will receive a pro-rated allocation based on the number of days of dining unit operations for that week.
You may change your meal plan once per academic year at no charge by completing the necessary form in any of the dining units. Subsequent meal plan changes result in a charge of $25 per change.
Huskie Bucks can be purchased to use in the dining units. They can also be used for laundry in the residence halls, at the Subway, Blackhawk, and Pheasant Room in the Holmes Student Center; and at several local restaurants. Students can also add Huskie Bucks on the Internet by going to the OneCard Office web site.
