Meal Plan Payment Options

Monthly meal plan fees need to be paid by the 1st of each month directly to our Meal Plan Provider.  Payment may be made by setting up a pre-authorized monthly debit from your bank account (you will receive a PAD agreement form to fill out) or you can provide your credit card details for pre-authorized billing charges. Please note there is 3% fee if you choose to use the credit card option, i.e., $640 + 3% = $659.20.
