|
If I don't use all my meals in one week, do they carry over to the following week? |
|
Only Flex Plan meals carry over from one week to the next. They are valid through the end of the semester. It is important that you select the right plan to fit your schedule and your eating habits to ensure that you get your plan’s full value. |

|
| |
|
|
Can I change or cancel my meal plan? |
|
Meal plan changes and cancellations may only be made by submitting the online form via NYUHome > "Housing Forms" log-in channel > Housing Forms options. Forms must be submitted no later than September 13, 2008, for fall 2008 and no later than February 7, 2009, for spring 2009. Residents of traditional-style halls (Brittany, Goddard, Hayden, Rubin, and Weinstein) must maintain a meal plan that includes a minimum of 10 meals per week or a 175 Flex plan. Meal plan changes and cancellations are not retroactive and become effective the first Sunday following submission of the online form. Neither noting meal plan changes or cancellation requests on Bursar’s bills nor withholding payment of meal plan charges is a valid method of modifying your meal plan. |

|
Will my Dining Dollars balance carry over from one semester to the next? |
|
Unused Dining Dollars from the fall semester roll over to the spring semester. Students must hold a meal plan membership in both fall and spring semesters in order to roll over the unused Dining Dollars balance. Any unused Dining Dollars at the end of the spring semester are not refundable and will not roll over to the next academic year. |

|
How Do I keep track of my Dining Dollars? What should I do if my funds run low? |
|
Each time you purchase a snack or a full meal, your remaining balance is displayed. You may also ask a cashier at any time to tell you how many Dining Dollars are in your account. If your balance runs low, you can add blocks of Dining Dollars to your meal plan from September 14 to November 29, 2008, and from February 8 to April 12, 2009. Charges for adding Dining Dollars will be applied to your Bursar’s account. |

Meal plan charges and how prorating works |
|
When a student signs up or changes a meal plan membership after the beginning of a semester term, the plan and charges are prorated for the remainder of that semester. Charges and refunds for all meal plans (flex plans and dining dollars included) are calculated on a per week basis, weeks begin on Sunday and ends Saturday. Charges begin on the activation date, not when the students begin using their plan. The fall semester is 15 weeks and charges begin on August 31, 2008. The spring semester is 16 weeks and begins on January 19, 2009.
For example:
If a student purchases a 75 Flex plan that begins second week of the fall semester they receive 14/15 of the plan, or 70 meals and 140 dining dollars (DD.) The are charged 14/15 or 93% of the original expense of the plan.
75 meals/15 weeks=5 meals per week, 5 meals per week X 14 =70 meals
150 DD/15 weeks =10 DD per week, 10 DD per week X 14 weeks = 140 DD
The same principle applies for changes and cancellations. The student pays for the weeks they own the plan (whether used or not) and receives a credit or charge on their bursar’s account based on that change for the remaining weeks of the semester.
