Meal Plans – 2024-25
Meal plans are mandatory for all New College residents.
New College residence meal plans are declining balance. At the beginning of the year, your meal plan Dining Dollars for the full year are loaded onto your TCard. Dining Dollars are then deducted from your meal plan account when you make your food purchases—like a traditional debit account.
There are three meal plan options for residents to choose from. The only difference between each plan is the amount of Dining Dollars included. You can find the full cost of each meal plan, as well as their average weekly spend, below:
- Plan A – $6,270 (average weekly spend – $180)
- Plan B – $6,800 (average weekly spend – $200)
- Plan C – $7,330 (average weekly spend – $215)
For the full breakdown of each meal plan, as well as the full New College Meal Plan Agreement, see “Schedule D” in the New College Residence Policies.
Where Can I Use My Meal Plan?
The Dining Dollars portion of the meal plan is available for the following purposes:
- To purchase tax-exempt food and beverages at both the New College Dining Hall and the Chestnut Dining Hall [as per Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) regulations];
- To purchase a variety of food and beverages from participating Food Services retail outlets across St. George campus. Visit “Where to Eat on Campus” for a list of participating locations under the “Dining Dollars” tab.
Dietary Accommodations
