Residential Meal Plan Change requests:
The Spring Semester 2012 meal plan change period is now CLOSED for returning residents (students who lived in the Residence Halls during Fall 2011). Residents of University Housing were informed via email of the Spring 2012 meal plan change period and the "Meal Plan Change" website was active through Wednesday, November 30, 2011 as the email stated. This was the only opportunity returning residents had to change their Spring 2012 meal plan. Returning residents with questions about their Spring 2012 meal plan should contact the Housing Office at housing@umn.edu.
Students new to the Residence Halls during Spring Semester 2012 may submit meal plan change requests by emailing baker151@umn.edu with their name, student ID number and the specific change they would like to make. Meal plan change requests for new residents must be submitted on or before Friday, January 27, 2012.
Please be aware that changes do not take immediate effect, but may take up to 3 business days to completely process and activate. Additionally, later submissions during the change period replace earlier submissions.
Charges and credits for changing plans are prorated based on the type of plan, the date of the change request and FlexDine usage. There are no fees assessed for changing plans.
*This refers to students living in Bailey, Centennial, Comstock, Frontier, Middlebrook, Pioneer, Sanford, and Territorial Halls. Students living in the on-campus apartments (Roy Wilkins, University Village, or Yudof Halls should refer to the "University Apartment & Commuter Meal Plan Change Requests" topic below).
University Apartment & Commuter Meal Plan Change Requests
Cancellation Policy: Apartment, Commuter, and Faculty & Staff meal plans may be cancelled within 5 business days of initial purchase. If the plan is purchased before the beginning of the semester, the first day the meal plan is available for use is used as the purchase date. Refunds will be prorated based on the type of plan, the date of the cancellation request and FlexDine usage. There are no fees assessed for cancelling meal plans.
Change Policy: Apartment, Commuter, and Faculty & Staff plans purchased prior to the beginning of the fall or spring semester may be changed through the end of the second week of the semester. For Fall Semester 2011 the change request deadline is September 16, 2011.
Plans purchased after the beginning of fall or spring semester may be changed within 10 business days of purchase. When changing to a smaller meal plan, the prorated balance of the initial purchase will be converted to FlexDine. No other forms of reimbursement will be made.
To request a cancellation or change, please email University Dining Services at baker151@umn.edu. Please provide your name, student ID number and the specifics of your request. Once your request has been processed you will receive an email notification.
