Residential Plans for Students Living in The Woods, Honors Community, and Hamilton Hall

By default, each student will receive the Gold $2,000 plan each semester. You will have the opportunity to change your residential dining plan selection prior to the start of each semester—review Changing Your Plan. Residential dining plans begin on Move-In Day and may be used during breaks and holidays (limited offerings/hours).

Balance Fall to Spring

Unused Residential Dining Dollars roll or carry over from Fall Semester to Spring Semester and will be added to your new Spring Dining Plan. Any unused Dining Dollars at the end of Spring Semester are forfeited, so we encourage you to use all of your Dining Dollars to get the most value from your dining plan. No refunds will be issued for unused Dining Dollars, so again, please use all of your dining dollars throughout the semester to get the most value from your dining plan.
