Eligibility & minimum meal plan purchases
As a reminder, returning students who reside in a traditional residence hall (room without a kitchen) must purchase a meal plan of 7 meals or higher. New, first time residential students who live in a traditional residence hall must select either the 14 meal plan or the All-access meal plan. Only residential students who reside in apartments and commuter students are permitted to select block plans. Students who reside in traditional residence halls who do not select an appropriate meal plan, or fail to select one altogether, will be assigned and billed for the 7 meal plan prior to the start of the spring semester.
Canceling or changing your meal plan

You may change your meal plan (up or down) to one that best suits your needs during the first two weeks of the semester.
Cancellations made within this period are eligible for a full refund, excluding any Rowan Bucks or Dining Dollars already spent. No refunds will be issued after the second week.

You may upgrade to a higher weekly plan (10-Meal Plan, 14-Meal Plan, or All Access) at any time. If the change occurs after the second week, the cost will be pro-rated.

For the 30- and 60-Block Plans:

  • Refunds are available based on the number of unused meals until the end of the second week.
  • After the second week, no refunds will be issued for unused meals.

You may purchase additional block plans at any time during the semester if needed.

  • Unspent Rowan Bucks carry over from semester to semester.
  • Dining Dollars expire at the end of the academic year.
  • Block plan meals expire at the end of each semester.
Purchasing additional Rowan Bucks

Additional Rowan Bucks can be purchased anytime via credit card by logging into Self-Service Banner, then selecting "Buy Rowan Bucks via Credit Card."

If you cancel your meal plan and it​ ​creates​ ​a​ ​credit​ ​on​ ​your​ ​account (negative​ ​balance),​ ​you​ ​can​ ​turn​ ​that​ ​credit​ ​into​ ​Rowan​ ​Bucks​ ​by​ ​by logging into Self-Service Banner, then selecting Transfer Rowan Bucks via Financial Aid/Bursar Credit.

​If​ ​cancelling​ ​your​ ​meal​ ​plan​ ​does​ ​not​ ​create​ ​a​ ​credit (meaning​ ​you​ ​still​ ​owe​ ​a​ ​balance​ ​to​ ​the​ ​University),​ ​your​ ​remaining​ ​balance​ ​due​ ​will simply​ ​be​ ​reduced​ ​by​ ​the​ ​meal​ ​plan​ ​amount​ ​removed.
