Weekly Meals

The weekly meal option will provide students the opportunity to enjoy “all you care to eat” meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You will receive a specified number of guaranteed meals per week each semester, based on the meal plan you select. Each time you eat in Cheney Hall, one meal is reduced from your weekly meal plan allotment.

Declining Dollars

All of the dining plans offer Declining Dollars which are accepted like cash in all of our dining locations. Declining Dollars function using the same concept as an ATM or debit card. Whenever you buy food items on campus using this option, the total amount of your purchase will be subtracted from your Declining Dollars and you can add additional Declining Dollars to your card at any time.

The minimum meal plan required for resident students is the 14-meal plan. Note: The minimum meal plan requirement is not applicable to the students residing in the Townhouses, the Living Center, or off-campus housing.

Room Rental - Residence life is considered an integral portion of the students educational experience at Springfield College. Residence in the College facilities is required of all students in the first-year, sophomore, and junior classes, except those students enrolled as commuters. Students desiring to live at home with their families and commute to the College should request a housing waiver form when applying for admission. Seniors, commuters, and married students may take the option of living in College facilities or in off-campus housing. For the 2004-2005 academic year, the cost of living accommodations ranges from $4,000 for most rooms to $8,200 for some off-campus accommodations in the Living Center. Depending on a students individual choice for room furnishings, a fee may be required.
