Meal Plans

MEAL PLANS

All students who live in University-owned housing are required to purchase a meal plan. Meal plans are also available for purchase to non-residential students as well.

19 Meals per Week with $150 Declining Balance/semester*

250 Block Meals with $100 Declining Balance/semester

170 Block Meals with $235 Declining Balance/semester

7 Meals per Week with $300 Declining Balance/semester**

*19 Meals per Week Plan is required for all first-year students and students under 25 completed credit hours.

**7 Meals per week Plan is only available to residents at Ipswich, Piedmont Village or residential students who are enrolled in clinical or student teaching experiences.

Declining Balance is available for use throughout the semester and can be spent at the Market, located in the Commons. A Declining Balance dollar is equivalent to one US dollar and can be reloaded.

There is no exception from the University’s meal plan policy aside from what is listed above without an explicit accommodation processed through the Office of Accessibility, Resources, and Services. Please contact the OARS Office for additional information on requesting accommodations.

All students are required to use their Piedmont University ID when utilizing their meal plan. Students caught attempting to bypass this process are subject to a code of conduct violation and meeting with a student conduct case manager.

CHANGES IN MEAL PLANS

Students with a residential meal plan that is not automatically assigned (e.g. first year students required to have 19 meals per week) are able to log into eRezLife and change their meal plan during designated periods. Meal plan changes for Fall are available throughout summer until the registration add/drop deadline of the semester. Meal plan changes for Spring semester are available during winter break until the registration add/drop deadline for the semester. Changes outside of these time periods are only available if approved through an OARS accommodation request.

If a student has questions/concerns about their declining balance or their student ID is not scanning in the Dining Hall please contact Chartwells at Piedmont University’s General Manager Kevin Faulkner (kevin.faulkner@compass-usa.com) or Assistant Director of Dining Services Heth Cottrell (heth.cottrell@compass-usa.com).
