The Meal Plan

The Summer Sessions Residence Halls contract includes room and board. The contract may not be purchased without the meal plan. Meal plan 'points' are the currency with which residents use their meal plan. Unused points cannot be refunded, cancelled or transferred to another session/semester.

Students will receive the following points:

Meals at Crossroads are debited as follows:

Retail points have a purchasing power of $1.00 each (calculated to the 1/100^th). For example, a purchase of $2.01 would cost 2.01 points.

There are no daily minimums or maximums. You can buy what you want, when you want it. You may also use your points for as many guests as you want.

Additional points can be added up to one week prior to the end of the session to which you are enrolled. Points can be added in $50.00 increments. $50.00 would purchase 55 additional points. Unused additional points cannot be refunded, cancelled or transferred to another session/semester.
