Frequently Asked Questions

Am I Required To Have A Meal Plan?
Students who are assigned housing accommodations in the highrises
(Hodshouser, Scott, Moore and Sanford Halls) and the suites (Sycamore,
Cedar, Hichory, Hawthorn, Oak, and the suites in Witherspoon and
Cypress) are required each semester to purchase one of the required
meal plans.

How Do I Choose The Best Meal Plan?
We offer a varieth of Meal Plan options because everyone has different
dinning preferences. When considering a meal plan, first evaluate the
number of meals and snacks you usually consume in a week. Next,
decide how often you will be dining in the all-you-care-to-eat dining
hall. Remember to take into consideration your class schedule and
where you spend your weekends. Then, choose the Meal Plan that
best fits your lifestyle.

What Meal Plan Offers The Greatest Value?
Plan H, 19 meals per week with $100 Declining Balance offers the
lowest cost per meal and works best for the person who eats two to
three full meals per day. Plan H is new this year and we expect it to be
very popular. Historically, Plan C has been the most popular choice
among freshmen students.

What If I Choose A Meal Plan And Then Decide It's Not Right For Me?
Students are allowed to make one free Meal Plan change; any changes
beyond this and you will be charged a fee of $25.00. Students required
to have a meal plan may change plans during the same two-day period
allowed for housing room changes. Students who are not required to
have a meal plan may make changes anytime until Fall / Spring Break.
