Boarding Students

All students residing in University Housing and Residence Life are required to participate in a Campus Dining meal plan program. The boarding package includes 19, 15, or 10 meals per week. Boarding students may also sign-up for one of our residential block plans (listed below). All freshmen residing in University housing are required to participate in the 19-meal plan during their first year. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors residing in University housing may choose any residential meal plan. Unused meals do not carry over to the next week or semester. The meal plan rates (tax included) are as follows:

The Director of Food Services will accommodate students with dietary restrictions and will provide meals as prescribed. (Note: Appropriate documentation must be provided before special accommodations can be made.) Dining services refunds or reduced rates cannot be made because of special dietary requirements.

Meal plan changes must be requested within the first week of the academic semester. After the first week of classes, changes to meal plans are no longer accepted. A Meal Plan Change form must be submitted to the ID Card Office located in the Viking Services building formerly known as Ridley University Center. Students may, at any time during the Semester, change to higher-tier meal plan. Students changing from a less expensive plan to a more expensive plan option will be required to pay a prorated charge based on the date of the change.

Students who cancel or buy out of their Housing Contract for any reason or are evicted from Residence Life will require a $100 cancellation fee for canceling their Meal Plan. This fee is applicable to any semester in which your meal plan is cancelled. The University may grant cancellation of this contract in certain cases, such as academic dismissal, academic withdrawal from the University, or for some other unforeseen circumstance. Meal plans are refundable on a prorated basis less any Vikings Bucks funds used less any fees or charges.
