USE THEM BEFORE YOU LOSE THEM By: Jackie Rwigamba Email:rwigambaj@students.nescom.edu

DATELINE – [|Husson Universit] y and [|NESCOM] have an established meal plan system for their resident students. All students who live in the dorms have to have a meal plan; which is paid together with your tuition fees or in other words it is deducted from your tuition fees. There are three main meal plans that students are supposed to choose from. All the students with a meal plan have to eat their meals from the dining commons and no food is to be taken out. The three meal plans are the number of meals you wish to have per week and that determines the amount of dining dollars you get in your card. The money in your card is called the dining dollars. The meal plans choices are either ten, fourteen or nineteen meals per week. The less you get the more money you get in your card as dining dollars. The confusion about this program comes in towards the end of the semester. Some students who maybe had a ten-meal plan per week, which means they get $200 as their dining dollars and sometimes they don’t use it all, find themselves losing it because it is never carried forward. The dining dollars carried forward is the money you pay to put on you cards once you run out of meals or dining dollars. The system might seem complicated but the administrative assistant of[| Dining Services], Carole Bemis, said that, “I explain this to the students everyday.” Students are advised to use all their dining dollars by the end of the semester. They are never carried forward or refunded. The dining dollars can be used to buy food in the cafeteria, buy any item at the [|Cressy’s marketplace], Willey’s café and from [|Angelo’s Pizzeria at 499 Hammond Street in Bango] r. You can also use it to purchase a guest meal for a guest a meal at the dining commons at a discounted price. Faculty and staff may also purchase dining dollars at a minimum of $20. For more information about dining services or dining dollars please contact // the dining services/students ID office in Peabody hall room 103. //
