Room & Board Policy
Room
To reserve on-campus housing for an upcoming fall and spring semester, each returning student is required to make an advance room reservation deposit of $300 in March of the prior academic year. Housing deposits are made online at the Student Account Center via credit/debit card or webcheck.. A student is also required to complete a Housing and Meal Contract, which is located on the Residence Life web site. The housing contract must be brought with you on your scheduled day of housing sign up. Students are notified by Residence Life of the sign-up schedule.
All outstanding balances must be resolved prior to housing sign up. Accounts with an outstanding balance will be held from participating. If a student has a credit balance on their account, they are allowed to use $300 of that credit to pay the housing deposit.
Board
The university requires that all students who reside in the residence hall village and residence halls 14, 15, 16 and 17 must enroll in one of the meal plans that are offered. There are no exceptions to this rule except in the case of an extreme medical condition. All requests to forego the meal plan must be made in writing and addressed to the Residence Life Director. Since on-campus townhouses and senior apartments have kitchen facilities, these resident students are not required to purchase a meal plan but may do so if they choose. There are 4 meal plans offered to a resident student:
-
19 meal plan which includes $50 Dining Dollars,
$25 Bulldog Bucks, 5 Guest Passes
-
14 meal plan which includes $125 Dining Dollars,
$25 Bulldog Bucks, 10 Guest Passes
-
10 meal plan which includes $250 Dining Dollars,
$25 Bulldog Bucks, 15 Guest Passes
-
7 meal plan which includes $300 Dining Dollars,
$25 Bulldog Bucks, 15 Guest Passes
Dining dollars can be used at any Dining Services establishment and Bulldog Bucks can be used at all Dining Services locations as well as Subway, The Scoop, Book Store and the Information Desk.
Students who have a credit balance on their student account are allowed to transfer a portion or all of that credit to their Bryant Card. The student must come to the Bursar's Office to obtain a Bulldog Bucks Voucher. The voucher is then taken to the Support Services office to have the Bulldog Bucks applied to the students Bryant Card.
A student may also purchase additional Bulldog Bucks with cash, check or credit card in the Support Services Office. All Bulldog Bucks purchased will remain on the student's Bryant One Card (student ID) until graduation, transfer or withdrawal from the University. Bulldog Buck balances $25.00 or more will be applied to the student's account and a refund check will be issued by the Bursar's Office.
Resident students who do not select one of the optional meal programs will be enrolled in the default 14-meal board program. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available Monday through Friday; brunch and dinner is served Saturday and Sunday. The standard 14-meal plan gives the student the option to choose 14 of the 19 meals available.
Students enroll in a meal plan when they complete a housing application form each spring.
IMPORTANT: Any change in meal plans must be made during the first week of classes each semester. If a student is enrolled in a meal plan and is not required to have a meal plan and does not use the meal plan, they must request the cancellation within the first week of school or they may be charged for a portion of the meal plan cost. All changes are made at the Office of Residence Life.
