Meal Plan Policies and Terms
Residents at UAFS are required to purchase a meal plan. Whether you live in the Lion’s Den or Sebastian Commons, a meal plan that fits your lifestyle is available. Meal plans are per semester and are billed accordingly. Students may change their meal plans between the fall and spring semesters to obtain their best option.
During the first week of the semester, meal plans may be adjusted to a plan containing equal or more Dining Dollars. Meal plans will not be billed to a student’s account until the Housing Office receives a signed housing contract. Students moving in later in the semester may receive a pro-rated meals-per-week plan, but the block plans may not be pro-rated.
