Students can request to upgrade to Any Campus 19 at any point, but after the add/drop date, no meal plan changes are permitted until the next semester.
To request an Any Campus 19 Plan upgrade, please email Marie Roy. Your student account will be charged for the meal plan.
Commuter meal plans
Non-residential students can purchase commuter meal plans through Holy Cross College. These plans can be purchased at any time, but after the add/drop date, cannot be canceled until the next semester. The two commuter meal plan options are 10 meals per week for $1,170 per semester or 5 meals per week for $700 per semester.
Commuter students also have the option of purchasing 20 meals for $160 or 5 meal punch cards for $40.
