All-access, unlimited meal plan (mandatory for all residence students)

Mount Allison established a single unlimited "all-you-care-to-eat" meal plan as part of an overall effort to ensure students have the best value, convenience, flexibility, and nutrition possible to meet busy academic schedules.

Please note: residence students are required to have an all-access meal plan.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is provided seven days a week at Jennings Dining Hall, as well as continuous dining in between meal times. Late night is offered until 11 p.m. five nights a week. Students can eat whenever they like and as much as they like. There are no restrictions on the number of entries into the dining hall.

BENEFITS:

  • Access the Jenning Dining Hall as often as you like — for a full meal, a snack or just coffee
  • Avoid headaches like managing a food budget
  • Pay no taxes
  • The more you visit the Dining Hall, the more value you get
  • Enjoy access to the Dietary Restriction Program and the Boxed Lunch Program
  • Includes three guest passes and parent meals

FOR STUDENTS LIVING IN RESIDENCE

Meal plans are mandatory for students living in residence. Students under the mandatory meal plan have all the benefits of the all-access, unlimited access meal plan.

Students living in the Charlotte House residence can access the unlimited access meal plan or a 10-meals per week meal plan.

Residence meal plans are automatically added to your student account at the time of residence booking.
