Dining Program
At Illinois Wesleyan University we are doing "something uncommon" in the commons. We know that each student has his or her own needs, wants, taste, appetite, and schedule. We recognize the value of choice - in meal plan, menu, quantity, and nutritional content. Our objective is to promote good variety and service and a quality dining experience one customer at a time. That's why we've designed a variety of plans to meet a variety of needs - your needs and needs for each other Illinois Wesleyan student.

Enrollment in a meal plan is mandatory for all students residing in University residence halls. All other students may elect to enroll in one of the plans. Any new student residing in a University residence hall who does not select a meal plan will be placed automatically on basic plan I (19 meals per week). The default plan for continuing students is basic plan II (14 meals per week plus $80 per semester Munch Money and $14 May Term Munch Money).

Choices, Choices
Each meal plan offers a variety of meal options satisfying varied dietary requirements, personal tastes and individual schedules. Each plan provides at least ten meals per week throughout the academic year - so you can be certain that you will always have food available to you; and each plan provides unlimited seconds for all meals taken in the Commons.

Choice of Meal Plans
It's your choice! Following is a summary of the meal plan options available to you. Choose the plan that best suits your needs.

Basic Plans | Plus Plans | Super Plus Plans | Munch Money

	Basic Plans Plan I: 19 meals per week Designed for the student who would find the unlimited seconds policy most attractive. This individual recognizes the savings one realizes if you prefer to attend all or most of your dining opportunities. Many new students elect this plan until they have established more demanding work or social patterns which limit them from participating at every meal. Plan II: Any 14 meals per week plus $80 per semester Munch Money & $14 May Term Munch Money This plan is recommended for the student who plans to eat out occasionally, but plans to frequent our dining facility for a majority of the meals. This plan provides 14 meals per week out of 19 opportunities and the added feature of $160 per year in discretionary funds available for the purchases of guest meals or purchases in our snack bar. Plan III: Any 10 meals per week plus $120 per semester Munch Money & $20 May Term Munch Money This plan is designed for the student who will dine on campus less frequently. The plan provides 10 meals per week out of 19 opportunities and the added feature of $240 per year in discretionary funds available for the purchase of guest meals or snack bar purchases.
	Plus Plans Plan IV: 19 meals per week plus $75 per semester Munch Money This is the same as Plan I with $150 per year Munch Money. Plan V: 14 meals per week plus $155 per semester Munch money & $14 May Term Munch Money This is the same as Plan II with $150 per year added Munch Money. Plan VI: 10 meals per week plus $195 per semester Munch Money & $20 May Term Munch Money This is the same as Plan III with $150 per year added Munch Money.
	Super Plus Plans Plan VII: 19 meals per week, plus $150 per semester Munch Money This is the same as Plan I with $300 per year added Munch Money. Plan VIII: 14 meals per week, plus $230 per semester Munch Money & $14 May Term Munch Money This is the same as Plan II with $300 per year added Munch Money. Plan IX: 10 meals per week, plus $270 per semester Munch Money & $20 May Term Munch Money This is the same as Plan III with $300 per year added Munch Money.
	Munch Money Got the munchies for late night snacks? Off-hour treats? We've got just the answer: Munch Money is a cash allowance within your traditional board plans that allows you to satisfy your snack attacks in the Dugout Snack Bar or at our own Starbucks at any open hour. You can also use Munch Money to purchase guest meals in the Commons. Munch Money provided as part of your meal plan is forfeited if unused at the end of the academic year. Additional Munch Money If you wish to have more Munch Money than your plan provides, you may go to the Food Service Office and give them a check payable to IWU for the amount of Munch Money you wish to add. Unlike the Plan Munch Money provided as part of your meal plan, Additional Munch Money which you add on does not expire if unused at the end of the academic year.

Flexibility
New for the 2008-2009 School Year, is the option to use your meal plans in campus retail dinning service outlets during certain hours, 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM, as a meal exchange. You will be credited up to $4.85 in retail value if you choose to use one of your meals in the Dugout, Sub-Connection, or Tommy's Grille in the Hansen Center. As always Munch Money may be used at all locations at all times.

Your Cooperation, Please
Our goal is to provide you with the food you want at a fair price. The plan is priced to include your meals (less a missed meal factor) and your Munch Money, if any. It is not priced to cover your snacks between meals or food for a friend (except through the Munch Money). We therefore ask that you refrain from taking food from the dining hall. It's not fair to the other students. Your cooperation on this and on other items such as minimizing wasted food helps us give you the best value for your money!

Change of Meal Plan
If you decide that your selected meal plan will not suit your needs, please go to the Office of Residential Life (Shaw Hall) to change plans. All meal plan changes must be in writing. For fall semester, 2008, ALL CHANGES must be made by August 28th. For spring semester, 2008, ALL CHANGES must be made by DECEMBER 12, 2008 ( Reading Day). Please note that you may not change between a plus plan and a basic plan once classes begin for the academic year.
