Meal Plan
Home
The Declining Balance Meal Plan is an account that can be accessed with your ID card to make purchases at Dining Services, the Gazebo and campus vending machines. Undergraduate students under the age of 22 who are living in the residence halls must be on the meal plan. Students over the age of 22 who are living in a residence hall must be on a meal plan if they are receiving the Andrews University tuition assistance residence hall rate.
What is the cost of the meal plan?
All undergraduate students under age 22 who reside in the residence halls are required to participate in the Declining Balance Meal Plan. Students that receive residence hall-rate tuition assistance from Andrews University must be on a meal plan regardless of age. The cost of the residence hall meal plan is $1,425 per semester, which provides two meals per day for most students.
What if I don't need the full $1,425 per semester?
Students who cannot use up the balance in the meal plan account may receive a refund at the end of the semester of up to $200.
What if I need more than the $1,425 during the semester?
If your meal plan balance runs low during the semester you may add funds to the meal plan in $100 increments at the Office of Dining Services.
What if I lose my ID card?
If you lose your ID card, please contact the Office of Dining Services immediately to report it lost. Dining Services can place a hold on your card so no one else can use it. Students on a meal plan may purchase a temporary ID card worth $25.00 plus a $2.00 fee which is deducted from your meal plan. This is available from the Office of Dining Services during regular office hours.
If I am 22 or older or not living in the residence halls, do I have other options besides the meal plan?
Students over the age of 22 who are not receiving the Andrew University tuition assistance rate, or are not living in the residence halls may open a Cafe Account. There is no Dining Services operations fee for this account, and it does not entitle the student to a discount off of meal prices. See the Cafe Accounts page for more details.
