WELCOME TO MILLSAPS!

Information Regarding New Meal Plan Options

Students wishing to change their Meal Plan may do so in Student Life through Monday, August 26th. No changes will be accepted beyond that point.

Meal Plan 21- Students will receive 21 meals per week in the cafeteria, with take-out options available in the Kava House and Reuben's. (Default plan for all on-campus students)

Meal Plan 19- Students will receive 19 meals per week in the cafeteria, with take-out options available in the Kava House and Reuben's. In addition students will receive $100 per semester in Dining Dollars that can be used in the Kava House or Reuben's toward any menu item at any time.

Meal Plan 17- Students will receive 17 meals per week in the cafeteria, with take-out options available in the Kava House and Reuben's. In addition students will receive $200 per semester in Dining Dollars that can be used in the Kava House or Reuben's toward any menu item at any time.

Here are a few important policy changes that you need to be made aware of:

-->

No ID = No food. You must have your ID to eat. No exceptions.
Meals reset on Saturday mornings.
Meals do not roll over from week to week. Unused meals are lost at the end of the week.
Meal counts are allotted for the week, not the day. Students are not restricted to 3 meals per day. This allows students to eat as many, or as few, meals each day as they wish.
Use you meals for family and guests. You are allowed to swipe multiple times therefore you are allowed to use your meals for others including family and other guests.
Dining Dollars are allocated per semester. Unused Dining Dollars will not roll over to the next semester. Add Major Bucks instead of Dining Dollars.
You cannot change your Meal Plan once the semester has begun. ( Please see the exception above.) There will be an open enrollment period for changes for next semester's Meal Plan.
Students are automatically assigned a Meal Plan 21 when they are assigned housing. It is up to the student to request a change once a Meal Plan has been assigned to their account.

Changes to the Kava House Menu

Students will be able to use their meal plan in the Kava House for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The usual Outtake options will still be in place, but will be supplemented by new Hot Options. Students will be able to choose between the usual Sandwich, Chips, Fruit and a drink combo as well as a Hot Meal, Side and a drink combo. The Hot Option will change daily and will be offered in a vegetarian format if you so choose.

Students who have chose meal plans with Dining Dollars will be able to order off of the set menu as well. For more information on the new menu please follow the Kava House on Instagram and Twitter

Printing Management Information for Students

A printing management program will be implemented in the Fall 2013 semester to promote responsible printing, reduce costs, and conserve paper. We hope students will be more aware of how much is printed and think about ways to limit printing and paper usage by choosing digital copies.

The program will use PaperCut, a printing management software for managing your printing allowance, transferring and purchasing additional credit, and checking printing history.

Students will receive information on saving and managing digital copies of readings and obtaining free and low-cost annotation software and Faculty will be encouraged to accept digital assignments and double-sided printed assignments.

How it works:

Each semester students will receive $15.00 credit for 300 prints ($.05 each) with a 30% discount for double-sided printing. In addition, students will have a buffer, or overdraft allowance, to avoid suspension of printing in the middle of a job.

Credit can be carried over from Fall to Spring semester. Students can log into their Papercut account at anytime to see the remaining balance.

Students can purchase additional printing credit in the Library. When purchasing additional credit students will receive a card similar to a retail gift card with an authorization number. Enter the number in a PaperCut account and credit instantly appears.

After clicking the print button in an application’s print window the PaperCut window will open showing the number of pages in the job and how much it will cost. Duplex printing will be the default but single-sided can be selected from the application’s print window.

Student organizations will have special printing accounts for officers and will be billed separately by Student Affairs.

Instructions for using PaperCut and other information can be found here.

If you have questions contact the Library or ITS.
