Summary of Policy
The Meal Plan is mandatory for undergraduate students residing in campus-owned and managed properties. Minimum levels of participation are determined by a student’s class year and College residence. Meal plans are activated at the beginning of each semester and do not carry over from one semester to the next. Each meal plan offers a combination of Board (All you can eat for one swipe at Brooks Dining Hall) and Munch Money (Used at McKinleys to purchase food a la carte, price of a meal at Brooks, or Wrecking Ball Café in Pelletier).
Reason for Policy
The College believes that a major feature of attending a residential college is the opportunity for all students to live with one another. As such, all students enrolled at Allegheny College are required to live in College housing and enroll in the College meal plan.
The Policy
All students living in College residences are required to participate in a meal plan. Minimum levels of participation are determined by a student’s class year and College residence. Visit Student Financial Services Website for pricing. Visit the Dining Service website for meal plans, hours, and event schedules.
Minimum Level of Participation Requirements
Students spending their first year in post-secondary educational institution away from home are eligible for the Complete Plan, Daily Plan, and Frequent Plan only. Students living in traditional dorm style housing as well as Delta Tau Delta and Phi Kappa Psi fraternities are not eligible for the Mini Plan. Students in non-traditional housing are eligible for all plans.
Meal Plans (BOARD & MUNCH)
Meal plans are loaded at the beginning of the semester and do not carry over from one semester to another semester. Each meal plan has two components:
BOARD
All you can eat for one swipe at Brooks Dining Hall
MUNCH Money
Used at McKinleys to purchase food a la carte.
Students also have the option to use MUNCH money for the price of a meal.
Wrecking Ball Café in Pelletier
Changing Meal Plans
Students may change their meal plan decision through the first two weeks of classes each semester. Information and changing meal plan details are available on Financial Services Meal Plan page.
The meal plan that you request for the fall semester will also be applied to the spring semester unless another change is submitted.
If you change your meal plan from a large plan to a smaller plan, the large plan will be prorated on your account and the requested plan will be added to your account.
Supplementing Meal Plans
Gator Cash funds can be used to supplement your MUNCH money.
