Meal Plan Policies

Meal plans are mandatory for students residing in any Residence Hall on campus with the exception of Charles River Apartments, Foster Apartments, 567 South St and Ridgewood.  Students living in these locations are still welcome to purchase a meal plan as well as WhoCash. 

Two Important Notes for First Year students:

All First Year students, regardless of Residence Hall, must choose a meal plan.  This includes first years who may have been assigned to Charles River Apts, FosterApts, 567 South St. or Ridgewood.                                                           

The following meal plans are the ONLY options for first year students:

  • The 21 Meal Plan
  • The 14 Meal Plan (includes $20.00 in points per semester)
  • 10 Meal Combo Plan (includes $525.00 in points per semester)
  • Flex Meal Plan (includes $650.00 in points per semester)

Students who live on campus and have not signed a Residence Hall and Dining License will automatically be assigned the 21-meal plan. Please check your meal plan at the beginning of each semester to make sure you have the plan you want. If you have been assigned an incorrect meal plan, you must come to the Campus Card Office and fill out a change form. Please note that there are specific deadline dates at the beginning of each semester when meal plan changes are accepted. If you miss the deadline date, you will need to wait until the following semester to make a change.  An email will be sent to all students at the beginning of each semester as a reminder to check your meal plan.

Friday, September 7th, will be the last day meal plan changes will be accepted. However, a meal plan change may be made (after this date) if there is a change in housing which could make a different meal plan available or unavailable (i.e. moving in or out of the Village).  When necessary, prorated meal plan charges will be applied to your SAGE account.

Students electing to eat Kosher must sign a Kosher contract with Dining Services in Sherman Dining Hall. Students will then be given a sticker for their ID card. Students who elect to eat kosher must eat on the kosher line while in Sherman Dining Hall but are welcome to eat in any other dining location.

Diet and nutrition related issues and questions should be directed to Dining Services at (781) 736-4330.
