Residential Overhead Cost*
In order to maintain financial stability for Hospitality Services & Campus Restaurants and to give students the flexibility of meal plan choices and value, Meal Plans A, B, C and D are a combination of an overhead payment and Dining Dollars. Residential Overhead is a critical up front payment that covers a portion of fixed costs. The overhead payment contributes to the operational business costs to maintain and operate our dining facilities on campus. These funds cover costs such as: staff and student salaries, utilities, supplies, repairs and capital expenses. The overhead allows us to budget more effectively, thus passing a higher savings on to the students.
There is no food credit value to the overhead fee. Residential Overhead for future dates is refundable up to the 14th week of the semester when a meal plan is cancelled by officially; cancelling housing, cancelling meal plan online or withdrawal from the university. There are no Residential Overhead refunds for past days.
