Meal Plan Modifications

According to the terms and conditions of the On-Campus Housing Contract, “All Storrs residents residing in non-apartment spaces (including Cordial Storrs House, the Nathan Hale Inn and Husky Village) are required to purchase a resident meal plan. Students residing in on-campus apartments and University Farm Houses are not required to purchase a resident meal plan, and may purchase any meal plan including options available to commuters”. The On-Campus Housing contract is available at http://reslife.uconn.edu/housing-contract-forms/.

Students with documented disabilities for whom eating in a dining hall is not viable due to medically necessitated dietary requirements may request a meal plan modification.
