Meal Plan Information
Meal Plan Information
The best way to get access to food is by purchasing a campus Dining Plan prior to arriving on campus. There are four (4) plan options to choose from depending on eating patterns and the amount of time spent on campus. First- and second-year students who reside in a campus residence hall are required to purchase one of the four (4) available Dining Plans. Students can renew their plans through Residence Services or by dropping off a form to the FLASHcard office in room 104 of the Kent Student Center. Students should evaluate their dining needs carefully to determine the plan that will meet their needs.
The Dining Plan is required of all students under the university policy regarding student housing. Resident first-year and second-year students are required to purchase a Lite, Basic, Premier or Premier Plus Dining Plan. The Dining Plan contract is for the academic year, paid by semester. University Dining Services will advance all unused dining dollars in your Dining Plan account from the fall semester to the spring semester. No reduction in the spring semester’s Dining Plan charges will be granted. All of the meal plans offered during the first and second year are nonrefundable. Meal plan rates are adjusted each year based on anticipated expenses.
Basic Plan Contract
This plan, recommended for students who eat an average amount of food each day, entitles students to a 10% bonus on additional Dining Dollars purchased the same semester (purchase $100, the student is given an extra $10 to spend). This plan is ideal for most students. When Kent State University quotes Room and Board fees, this is the Dining Plan that is included.
Premier Plan Contract
This plan, recommended for students who eat most of their meals and snacks on campus, entitles students to a 20% bonus on any Dining Dollars added to the student’s semester plan. Students’ Dining Dollars can be carried over semester-to-semester, year-to-year with the purchase of any plan above the Basic.
Premier Plus Plan Contract
This plan, ideal for heartier appetites, athletes and students who remain on campus during the weekend, entitles students to a 20% bonus on any Dining Dollars added to the student’s semester plan. Students can carry over Dining Dollars semester-to-semester, year-to-year with the purchase of any plan above the Basic.
Lite Plan Contract
This plan, recommended for the light eater, entitles students to a 10% bonus on additional Dining Dollars purchased the same semester.
