The Fine Print

  • All first-year students and first-year undergraduate international students who reside in the residence halls are required to maintain a meal plan during their first entire academic year; either the Any 100, Any 200, or All Access plan.
  • Before the semester begins and during the first two weeks of the semester, a student may change their meal plan by completing the meal plan change form located on our website.
  • Changing from the “Any 200”, “Any 100”, or “All Access” plan to a “Beaver Buck” plan will result in a weekly charge for each week on a “meal swipe” plan (including the week the change is made), regardless if the student eats meals. The weekly charge, along with any Beaver Bucks spent on the “meal swipe” plan, will be deducted from the new Beaver Buck plan balance.
  • Changing from a “Beaver Buck” plan to a “meal swipe” plan will result in the amount of Beaver Bucks spent being deducted from the new Beaver Buck balance.
  • Canceling the “Any 200”, “Any 100”, or “All Access” plans will result in weekly charges as discussed above in the “Changing from the ‘Any 200’, ‘Any 100’, or All Access” section.
  • Up to $200 of a Beaver Buck balance left after the fall semester may be carried forward into the spring semester.
  • Beaver Bucks not used by the end of the spring semester do not carry forward to the next academic year and are not refunded.
  • Meal balances left at the end of a semester cannot be carried forward.
  • A meal plan may be added at any point during the semester. Also, additional Beaver Bucks may be purchased, at any point during the semester through Dining Services (visit bemidji.campusdish.com).
