Commuter students and SEU apartment dwellers have the option to purchase any of the meal plans listed above. Commuters sign up for this plan in the Card Office Holy Cross Hall Room G12. Apartment residents sign up for meal plans on line when they accept their housing assignment.
The Meal Plan balances of any students who are dismissed from the University and who are not entitled to re-enroll will be forfeited at the time of the dismissal.
Your balance will be displayed each time you use your Hilltopper Card.
Meal plan dollars can only be used at the following locations:
- South Congress Market in Ragsdale Conference Center
- The Huddle in Le Mans Hall
- Hunt Hall Café all services including Coffee Bar/Bakery, Outtakes (convenience store)
Any unused balance of a student’s meal plan will roll-over from the fall to the spring semester. As of June 30 every year, student meal plan account balances will be reduced to $0.00. As of that date any meal plan dollars remaining from the fall or spring semester will be forfeited. Please note that all students living in a campus residence hall must purchase a meal plan each semester regardless of any balance he/she has rolled-over from the fall to the spring semester.
Students who purchased meal plans in prior to 2009-10 and who still have roll-over balances on remaining from those plans have until June 30, 2010 to use those funds. At that time all meal plan balances will be reduced to $0.00 and the remaining funds will be forfeited.
Q. Can I change my meal plan?
A. Yes. Meal plan change requests may be made via your EdWeb account up to the point that meal plan balances are posted to the Blackboard Transactions System, approximately one week prior to the start of classes for the fall or spring semester. From that date through the 12th day of classes, requests for meal plan changes must be made in person in the Hilltopper Card Office, Holy Cross Hall Room G12. No requests for changes in meal plans may be made after the 12th day of classes.
Q. Who is available to answer questions if I have a food allergy or require a special diet?
A. The General Manager for Bon Appetit, (Michael Smith, 428-1016) is available to offer assistance to anyone who may have temporary diet concerns. Students requiring long term special diets should contact Mike Stone, Director of Auxiliary Services (mikecs@stedwards.edu) via email.
Q. Can I recieve meal plan refunds?
A. Cancellation of the meal plan is subject to the refund schedule for tuition set forth by the Office of Student Financial Services. Refunds apply only to unused portions. Current Refund Schedule Refunds of unused meal plan balances are not available to students who leave the University at the end of a semester.
Q. May I get an exemption from the meal plan?
A. Dining service staff welcomes opportunities to assist students in finding ways to meet their nutritional and dietary needs. However, if the dining staff is unable to support a medically necessary diet, the student may request an exemption from
the meal plan by submitting documentation from their physician to the Director of Auxiliary
Services. The Director of Auxiliary Services will notify the student whether their
exemption is approved or not. To access the
form go to http://www.stedwards.edu/auxservices/exempt.htm.
Q. Can I transfer money from the meal plan to topper tender?
A. The new meal plan structure for 2009-10 includes an amount of Topper Tender dollars in each plan. No other transfers are permitted.
