Residential Meal Plans

As defined in the Annual Residence Hall and Dining Service Contract, a meal plan is required for all residential students at The College of New Jersey.

Guidelines

1. Students who do not pick a meal plan for the fall semester will be automatically assigned a meal plan by the Housing Office.  A freshman or sophomore will receive Carte Blanche B and a junior or senior will receive A La Carte 2.
2. If you do not pick a new meal plan for the spring, you will retain the same meal plan from the fall.
3. If you do not have a spring meal plan and you do not pick a new one, you will be given the same meal plan you had for the fall semester.
4. In the rare circumstance where a student has a Spring assignment, no Fall or Spring meal plan, and does not log on to change/pick a meal plan for the spring semester, the student will be assigned Carte Blanche B if they are a freshman/sophomore or A La Carte 2 if they are a junior/senior.
5. The Apartment Plan is only available to students living in Phelps, Hausedoerffer, and the College Houses.  The College Houses Plan is only available to residents living in the College Houses.  Residents who select one of these plans and do not meet the criteria above for having one of these two meal plans will have their meal plan changed by our office.  In this instance, residents would be given the same meal plan from the Fall semester for the Spring.

How to Change Your Meal Plan

1. Log onto MyHousing.
2. Select your current application for “Academic Year ’11-’12″.
3. Click on Selecting a Meal Plan from the steps on the left.
4. Select the meal plan you would like from the drop down menu.  Please be careful if you use the scroll on your mouse this will change the selection on the drop down menu unless you click on the page outside of the drop down menu.
5. Click “Save & Continue”.
6. You will be taken to the Application Status page that will show the meal plan you selected. You will also receive an e-mail confirmation that your meal plan has been changed.  We recommend saving this e-mail for your records.

PLEASE NOTE: If your application shows as “Not Complete,” you may ignore this.  As long as you received your confirmation e-mail and your “Application Status” page shows your new meal plan, your change has been received.

If you are a non-residential student and are interested in purchasing a meal plan, please see the TCNJ Dining website for details on their block plans.

Please do not hesitate to call our office at (609) 771-2301 or e-mail us at housing@tcnj.edu with any questions or concerns that you may have.
