J-Term Meal Plan

• During J-Term, the Standard Meal Plan (14 swipes a week) is the only meal plan available to residential students enrolled in their first or second J-Term course due to reduced dining services operations.
• Residential students enrolled in their third or fourth on-campus J-Term course will not have access to the Standard Meal Plan. Instead, they can buy a J-Term Booster pack of 10 meals for $79.50. These swipes do not roll over to the spring semester and must be used before the conclusion of the J-Term.
• Residential students enrolled in a study tour will spend the required time in on-campus classroom time before or after their trip. On these classroom days, meals are not included in the study tour fee. Instead, they can buy a J-Term Booster pack of 10 meals for $79.50. These swipes do not roll over to the spring semester and must be used before the conclusion of the J-Term.
• During J-Term, commuter meal plans remain active and function the same way as they do in the fall and spring semesters.
• Any residential students wishing to add additional meals can add a J-Term booster pack — 10 meal swipes for $79.50 — at any time during J-Term (even if they are on the Standard Plan). These swipes do not roll over to the spring semester and must be used before the conclusion of the J-Term.
