Board (Food Service)
University policy requires all on-campus residents to select from a variety of full board plans if they are residing in non-kitchen suite residence halls. Seniors and residents of Disney and Eisenhower kitchen suites, University Village Townhouses and commuter students are not required to maintain a meal plan, however, they may choose any plan. Also, resident freshmen are required to maintain Meal Plan 1 for their first semester and may change plans for future semesters.
Meal plans are not active during recess or break periods in excess of four days such as Thanksgiving week, winter recess, spring break, and summer recess.
The FSA offers a combination of declining balance (points) and traditional meal plans to suit the needs of each student. The costs for meal plans are priced per semester and are subject to change annually. Costs begin at $2,150 for resident students required to participate in a meal plan. Commuter point meal plan options are available for off-campus students.
Unused points from the fall semester may be rolled over to the spring semester adhering to the university policy. However, students must select a meal plan for the spring semester in order to receive the rollover. No refund of unused points will be given if the student does not return for the spring semester. Unused points do not roll over to the following fall semester.
Specific information concerning pricing and descriptions of each plan may be obtained by contacting the FSA office in Gregory Hall or calling (716) 680-6228, or by logging onto the FSA web page at www.fsa.fredonia.edu or email fsa.office@fredonia.edu.
