Dear Resident,

In preparation for the 2024-2025 year, we looked for ways to keep the meal plan the same as last year. To achieve this, a few underutilized and costly programs were eliminated. Since then, we have heard your feedback, both positive and negative, regarding these changes. While some have appreciated the cost savings, others wanted the perks back. To satisfy both desires, we are implementing a new and optional Full Meal Plan Plus upgrade that will bring those perks back to your full meal plan!

The Full Meal Plan+ upgrade includes:

• 2 Exchange meals per week at our Student Center Food Court Locations (Dunkin’ is separate from the food court and is not a participating location)
• Connecticut Hall to-go containers will be reintroduced and will be provided to you with your meal plan upgrade.
• 5 Guest meals will be available per semester for Connecticut Hall.

You can add the Full Meal Plan Plus upgrade to your plan now through Friday, February 7, 2025!

To learn more about your options visit https://southernct.sodexomyway.com/en-us/meal-plan/meal-plan-options. If you wish to upgrade, head over to your "MyHousing" to complete the transaction.  The cost to upgrade your plan is $165 for the spring semester.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Southern Dining by email at dining@southernct.edu. Additionally, if you have suggestions, comments, or concerns regarding campus dining please feel free to provide your feedback via dining@southernct.edu anytime.

We look forward to seeing you on campus very soon!

Sincerely,
