Returning students living in residence halls, Cowles Apartments, and designated co-ops may choose between plans 1 or 2.
All other students who reside in designated theme houses, language houses, Renfrow Hall, or 51²è¹Ýapp House and those who live off-campus may choose between plans 1, 2, or 3.
Meals and dining dollars are non-transferable and reset at the end of each semester.
