Students looking to change their meal plan can do so by completing the Meal Plan Enrollment/Change Request Form (Flex plans can only be changed to other Flex plans.); students looking to cancel their meal plan must contact the Office of Residential Life. If students cancel their meal plan within the 30 day period, a pro-rated rebate will be credited to their student account on the unused portion of the board contract, less one week.

Students signing up for or changing a meal plan after the semester has started:
Please allow 24 hours for your meal plan to be activated. (Requests submitted by 3:00pm will be processed by 3:00pm on the next business day.)
