Meal plans

SCAD offers several dining options to suit students' schedules and lifestyles. Meal plans are purchased and administered on a quarterly basis, and services are accessed through the use of the SCAD Card. Meal plans are not available at Hong Kong Gold Coast Residences or at SCAD Lacoste.

Traditional meal plans

Traditional meal plans offer a designated number of meals per week or quarter, as well as a variable amount of flexible spending credit (Dining Dollars) for students to use at any SCAD dining location or SCAD convenience store.

Students residing at The Hive, Montgomery House, Oglethorpe House, Turner House, and pods and suites in FORTY must choose one of the traditional meal plans.

Apartment meal plans

Apartment meal plans offer a designated number of meals at the start of the quarter for students residing off-campus and those living in apartment-style campus housing.

Beginning in Fall 2019, students residing at Barnard Village, Boundary Village, Pulaski House, ACA Residence Hall of SCAD, Victory Village and apartments in FORTY must choose a meal plan. These residents may choose from any of the traditional or apartment meal plans.

Dining periods

Dining periods are designated times throughout the day that you can swipe for each type of meal.

Students on meal plans A and B may use one meal swipe per dining period until all meals for the week have been used. A and B meal plan balances reset every Thursday at midnight. Meal plans C, D, E and F provide all meals at the start of the meal plan cycle each quarter, and the plan balance is to last the entire quarter. Students swipe for meals at their discretion, and each swipe deducts from the plan balance.

Dining facilities have varying hours of operation. Review café hours to see which dining facilities are open during each meal period.

Meal plan policies

Students who do not designate a meal plan preference at registration, but are required to select a traditional meal plan are assigned to meal plan B. Students may change meal plans by the second Thursday of each quarter, and if eligible, students may cancel meal plans by the fourth Thursday of each quarter and receive a prorated refund. Remaining meals do not carry over to the next quarter. Quarterly dining dollars will roll to the next successive term and will not expire until the end of the spring term for that academic year.
