It offers approximately 3 meals a day. If that’s okay with
you - you're done and you don't have to do anything else. However,
there are other options! If you'd like to choose one of them, you'll
also need to complete a 2008-2009 Optional Meal Plan
Contract online.
Read these contracts carefully before you submit them! There are
deadlines for changing or canceling meal plans.
