Students housed in the Tower Residence create a Prepaid Food Services Account (PFSA) by selecting one of the accounts specified in the table below. All residence students in single or double occupancy in the Tower Residence must participate in one of the accounts. Sample menus under each account are available. Changes in the PFSA must be made by the Add/Drop deadline of each term. Each time the student purchases items in the cafeteria, he or she must present his or her student ID card and the PFSA is reduced. If necessary, PFSAs can be added in $75.00 increments. Balances are not refundable.
Faculty, staff and commuter students can also set up a PFSA.
Meal plan fees are charged per term and are due in full at the point of confirmation. See Payment Deadlines and options for payment options.
