Room and Meal Plans

Room and meal plans let you add boarding plans and charges to student accounts. Boarding charges are eligible for financial aid.

Adding new plans

Follow the steps below to set up either a room plan or a meal plan.

1. Go to Billing > Settings > Room Plans or Meal Plans.
2. Click Add Plan.
3. Give the plan a name.
4. Select an income account for this plan.
5. Enter the amount this plan will cost for an academic term. You can change this amount for any student at the time you add the plan/charge to her account.
6. Click Save.

Now that you've created the plan, here's what you can do with it:

• You can assign room plans to a student on Profile > Campus Life.
• You can link default room plans to student housing in Campus Life > Settings.
• You can add boarding plans to student accounts on both Profile > Financial > By Term and Profile > Campus Life.
• When you add a student to a room, she'll automatically get a pending charge added to her account according to the room plan that's in effect for her.
• When you add a meal plan to a student, it automatically generates a pending charge on her account.
• Room and meal plan charges are then invoiced.
