New meal plans
Fall 2013

All meal plans will still cost the same, but you will see the additional flexibility and choice will be a great benefit.

Using your meal plan meals, you will be able to get a takeout option from:
Kava House until 8 pm
Rueben’s until 10 pm

“Dining Dollars” are a prepaid declining balance account that may be used at any of the campus food service locations. This will be separate and different from your Major Bucks account and will not roll over or be refunded at the end of the semester. The “Dining Dollars” will allow students to order off of the Kava House or Rueben’s menu at any time throughout the day.

The Meal Plans for the 2013-2014 Academic Year:
Meal plan A- 21 meals per week, the meal plan we all currently have.
Meal plan B- 19 meals per week, with $100 in Dining Dollars.
Meal plan C- 17 meals per week, with $200 Dining Dollars.

Please be patient with our staff in adopting and implementing these new plans. If you have any questions contact sba@millsaps.edu
