Meal Plan Terms and Conditions

Your meal plan constitutes a contract with Brown Dining Services.

It is in full effect for the academic year with half the annual charge billed to your student account by semester. Use of your meal plan in any of our on-campus eateries constitutes your agreement with appropriate behavior according to Brown’s Code of Student Conduct and violations of Dining Services policy.

Who Can Sign Up For A Meal Plan

  • Meal plans are available to all undergraduate, graduate and medical students.

Using Your Brown ID for a Meal Plan

  • Meal credits and Points are non-transferable. It is a violation of both Brown and Dining Services policy to loan out your ID card. Sharing a meal plan is not permitted and all meals and points associated with each plan (with the exception of guest meals) are for the use of the meal plan holder only. Any financial transactions that require your Brown ID must be processed with your physical Brown ID. Photos of your Brown ID will not be accepted.
  • Guest meals are included in each residential meal plan. They can be used by a student to pay for a meal for themselves or for the meal of a companion. We recommend saving guest meals for others and utilizing regular meal credits for yourself, as meal credits and flex points cannot be used for guests.

Meal Plan Changes and Billing

  • Third Year and Fourth Year students are automatically enrolled in the meal plan you had the previous semester. To opt out or make changes, visit mycard.brown.edu.
  • When changing plans, meal plan usage on the original plan will be deducted from the new plan.
  • Unused meals are forfeited when you switch from a Flex plan to a Weekly plan.
  • Unused meal credits and flex points are forfeited at the end of the applicable academic year.
