Meal Plan Transfer/Refund FAQs 2009-2010


What options are available to me if I have money left on my meal plan at the end of the academic year? click to see or hide answer

The food credit portion of your meal plan is refundable. The overhead cost is non-refundable. If your remaining combined balance of residence and flex dollars is more than $50, you can request a refund; otherwise, any remaining balance will be automatically transferred to the Campus Meal Plan. If you do not submit a request for a refund by April 27th, your meal plan balance will be automatically transferred to the Campus Meal Plan.

Are there any additional fees charged for this refund/transfer process? click to see or hide answer

When requesting a refund, there is a processing fee of $40 which will be deducted from your remaining balance. There is no processing fee for accounts that are transferred to the Campus Meal Plan.

If I request a refund, when will I receive my cheque? click to see or hide answer

Cheques will be mailed out by the end of June (approximately). The refund cheque will be equal to the amount of your remaining balance less a $40 processing fee. Please ensure that you provide your correct summer mailing address on the refund form.

What if I request a refund and my combined balance of residence and flex dollars is $50 or less? click to see or hide answer

You must have a combined balance of residence and flex dollars of more than $50 in order to receive a refund. If your combined balance is $50 or less, the balance will be automatically transferred to the Campus Meal Plan.

When will my account be accessible to me if my funds are transferred to the Campus Meal Plan? click to see or hide answer

If your account is transferred, your funds will be accessible to you on May 7, 2010. Therefore, if you remain in London over the summer, you can access the account if you wish to make purchases on main campus or from off-campus partners (e.g., Domino's Pizza, T. J. Baxter's, Subway, etc). If you go home over the summer, your funds will remain on a Campus Meal Plan and will continue to be accessible to you upon returning in September.

If I return to residence in the Fall, will my money be transferred to my residence account? click to see or hide answer

Yes. Remaining funds at the end of the summer will be transferred to your flex dollar account. This transfer takes place a few days prior to move-in day.

Can I continue to use my residence dollars or flex dollars after I have submitted the Request for Refund form? click to see or hide answer

You can continue to use your residence dollars and flex dollars until the refund process is initiated on May 1, 2010. The amount refunded will be based on your remaining balance at the point the refund process is initiated less the $40 processing fee.

If I have a balance on my meal plan can I apply it towards a balance owing on my Residence Account? click to see or hide answer

Yes. Any amount owing on your Residence Account will be automatically deducted from your meal plan balance before a refund is processed or money transferred to a campus meal plan.

Please read all FAQs before requesting a refund.
Log into My Residence between April 2 - 27, 2010 to request a refund. If you do not submit a request for a refund by April 27th, your meal plan balance will be automatically transferred to the Campus Meal Plan.
