Resident Meal Plan participants: $2,245.00

At the beginning of each semester a student starts off with an opening balance which is determined each year by the Room and Board rate. Using 2009-2010 board rate of $2,245.00 at the beginning of each semester, an administration fee is first deducted after which the opening balance of $2,060.00 is credited to the resident’s account.  The restricted portion of $1,645.00 must be used at the main dining room, Davison Hall, and the remaining unrestricted portion of $415.00 may be used at Davison Hall, the NHIOP café and in the evenings at the Coffee Shop.
