Basic Meal Plan: This plan is the basic meal plan offered with an on-campus residency. A “Basic Plan” entitles you to a total number of meals per week during the semester and points per semester. The two weekly plans are the 14 meals-per-week or the 19-meals-per-week plan. Each of these plans includes 100 points. For example, if you purchase a 19 meal plan, it entitles you to use up to 19 meals in a week and $100 in points throughout the semester.
Block Meal Plan: A “Block Plan” entitles you to a total number of meals over the course of a semester and points per semester, depending on the plan you select. The two block plans are the 100 block + 400 points or 125 block + 200 points. For example, if you purchase the 125 Block Plan, it entitles you to 125 meals + $200 in points per semester. The 125 block plan also allows you to transfer up to 25 meals into points at $5.50 per meal prior to November 30 for the fall and April 30 for the spring. Points can be used at any campus food service location.
Information regarding dining facilities, as well as any questions or concerns, may be directed to the Director of Sodexho Dining Services, 315-792-7224. The College Housing office will accept requests from students who desire to change their meal plan prior to the beginning of the semester. Once a semester has begun, requests for a change in meal plan may not be processed. Any misuse of dining services may be subject to the college disciplinary process. (See information about Dining Services and Policies on page 41 of this handbook.)
Withdrawals, Terminations, and Refund of Board Plan (Food Service)
Students registering and occupying a room for three weeks or less who move out for a college-approved reason will receive a pro-rata refund for board based on the number of weeks (a partial week is considered a full week) on the meal plan. For this purpose, weeks are defined as beginning on Sunday and ending the following Saturday at midnight. Any student who occupies a room after the Saturday following the second full week of classes is responsible for the entire semester’s board charge. Exceptions may be made when a student withdraws to enter active military service or due to circumstances beyond his or her control. The Vice President for Student Affairs, Enrollment Management, and Development approves all exceptions.
All regulations and provisions herein shall remain in effect unless changed or modified by official written notice from the Director, President, or Board of Trustees.
