Summer 2024 Meal Plan Options
Dining Services offers a simplified meal plan option for summer. The Summer Unlimited meal plan offers unlimited meals at Heilman Dining Center and a $40 weekly Dining Dollar bonus that's applied in total for the number of weeks of your summer residency. This means your unlimited meals will only cost you $125 per week.
Transition Week
Transition Week is the week between spring and summer term, May 13-19, 2024. During this time students are unable to opt out of the meal plan regardless of their residential location. Due to the HDC being closed May 13–19, an additional $80 in Dining Dollars will be added to your meal plan, for those meal plans active on May 20-22 when the HDC is closed an additional $50 will be added.
Extend Stay
Students approved for housing during Extend Stay, the period between the universal move-out date for summer housing and the move-in date for fall housing, may not opt out of the meal plan.
Residence Halls
Students residing in the residence halls will automatically be assigned the Summer Unlimited meal plan. The plan provides a double room*, unlimited personal meals at Heilman Dining Center, and $40 Dining Dollars per week to be used at retail campus dining locations. Dining Dollars are allotted in total for the number of weeks of scheduled residence.
*Housing and food fees are listed on the student accounts site.
UFA/Gateway Apartments
Students living in on-campus apartments will automatically be assigned the Summer Unlimited meal plan. The plan provides a double room*, unlimited meals at Heilman Dining Center, and $40 Dining Dollars per week. Dining Dollars are allotted in total for the number of weeks of scheduled residence.
Students living in the apartments may opt out of the Summer Unlimited meal plan. Student must submit the meal plan changes form to opt out of the summer meal by 5p.m. EST the Tuesday before their contracted term starts. Students may not opt out of the meal plan once their term starts.
