General Guidelines

The Meal Plan is available to all enrolled students and can be used only at the Tiber Cafe in the Tiber Student Center. Participating students are issued meal credits on their student account that can be redeemed for a full meal at lunch time by scanning their student ID at the cashier station.

Students wishing to participate in the Meal Plan must submit the online contract. Students should be familiar with all of the terms and conditions of the Meal Plan. The online contract is considered legally binding and students will be responsible for the payment associated with the Meal Plan requested.  If a student pays for a Meal Plan through the finance system, it is understood that they will abide by the terms and conditions of the Meal Plan and they are expected to adhere to the cancellation policy.

Only the participating student can use his or her Meal Plan credits. Credits are not transferable and they cannot be resold. Unused credits are not refundable. Students should print a copy of these terms and conditions for personal reference.
