At the end of the Winter Semester, any remaining balance in your meal plan will be transferred into the carryover plan. This plan allows you to continue spending your remaining money when you return to school, whether you live on or off-campus.
The carryover food plan is accepted at all on-campus locations, including vending machines, off-campus restaurants, and food deliveries from our off-campus restaurant partners. However, the HST will apply to all purchases, and you will not receive a discount.
The carryover plan is non-refundable, and money cannot be added to it.
