All residence meal plans have dining dollars attached to them. Dining dollars are funds that can be used throughout the academic school year to purchase food beyond the meal plan. Dining dollars will be attached to the cost of the meal plan in the fall term and will begin the first day after the fall term due date. Dining dollar2s can be used at Chartwells’ (Food Service Provider) vendor locations: Tim Horton’s, Bento Sushi and Passage to India all located within the Dalhousie Student Union Building as well as King’s Prince Hall dining area. Please contact Chartwells directly for more information. Unused dining dollars cannot be carried forward beyond the end of the residence contract date and will be forfeited at that time. For students who arrive after the fall term due date, dining dollars will be attached to the cost of the meal plan upon their arrival and for use within 2 business days.
You can change your meal plan by emailing the King’s Student Accounts Office at accounts@ukings.ca from your university email account. For the fall term, emails received prior to September 9, 2022 will be applied retroactively to the first day of residence. For emails received between September 9 and September 16, 2022, the change will take effect on the day the email is received by the Student Accounts Office. While you can upgrade your meal plan at any time during the academic year, the deadline to downgrade your meal plan for the academic year is September 16, 2022 by 4 p.m. ADT. Corresponding meal plan dining dollars are mandatory and start September 17, 2022. Meal plan changes will be processed within 2 business days. (New admits to residence in the winter term (Jan.-Apr.) who wish to downgrade their meal plan must do so by January 20, 2023.) Changes to one’s meal plan that results in an amount owing must be paid in full by the term due date, for changes made after this date, full payment is due the date of the requested change. Outstanding accounts will be subjected to late fees and interest charges.
