Meal Plans - Terms and Conditions 2008
All students residing in the residence halls are required to be on a meal plan. Students may select from four plans which provide buffet meals in ACDC. These block plan meals provide a specified number of guaranteed meals per semester, allowing students to enjoy all –you –care- to eat dining for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each time you eat in ACDC, one meal is subtracted from your meal balance.
Students also receive 10 guest meals that can be used in ACDC, for the student or their guest only.
You will also receive a number of declining balance points that can be used in all the retail outlets on campus. Each time you make a purchase with declining balance points the cashier swipes your ID card, deducting the purchase amount from your declining point balance.
The numbers below show the point allocations of the meal plan provided per semester.
