Meal Plans Update Delete

Meal Plans allow students to purchase food from the Dining Hall, KR's place, the Kayak, Village Market Deli, and vending machines on campus. Meal Plan purchases are exempt from sales tax if student is living in Southern Adventist University-owned Housing. Meal Plan options are provided to assist students in establishing their desired monthly payment plan amount and do not change the actual costs incurred by students over the course of the semester.

Residence Hall Plans (Talge, Thatcher & Thatcher South)

Meal Plan	Balance	Maximum Refund
Bronze	$1,340	$ 50
Silver (Default)*	$1,540	$250
Gold	$1,740	$450

Students living in the Residence Halls (Talge, Thatcher & Thatcher South) will be automatically enrolled in the Silver (Default) Meal Plan. Students can change their Meal Plan level through census (the last day to add classes) each semester. After census, the Meal Plan level is locked in for the semester. After census, students can add money to their Meal Plan in $100 increments, as necessary. Each time a Meal Plan's balance drops below $20, the Meal Plan will automatically be increased by $100 to ensure students have continues access to food services. Any purchases made on these plans are tax-exempt. For additional information or to make changes on the Meal Plan, please visit southern.edu/card.

Students who leave the Residence Halls during the semester, will have the unused portion of the balance refunded in full. At the end of the semester, the unused portion of the balance is subject to the Maximum Refund (as shown above). This does not include added $100 increments, which are always 100% refundable.

Please Note: Grocery purchases at the Village Market are not a part of the meal plan, but can be purchased on the Prepaid Campus Card Plan (see Prepaid Campus Account).

Non-Residence Hall Plan (Southern Village, Campus Housing & Community)

Students not living in the Residence Halls may sign up for a $250 Optional Meal Plan at southern.edu/card. Students that reside in Southern Adventist University-owned housing and have this Meal Plan, will be exempt from paying sales tax on meal plan purchases. For all other individuals, sales tax will be applied to food purchases. Students can add money to their Meal Plan in $100 increments, as necessary. Unused portions of the balance will be fully refunded at the end of the semester.

Please Note: Those not on a Meal Plan must pay via cash, credit, or debit card when making food purchases.
