1. How do I choose a meal plan?

All resident students (except apartment residents) must select a meal plan; however, meal plan choices are yours! Follow three easy steps:

Step 1 Select which meal plan to purchase – how many meals per week you would like 19, 14 or 10. You can also select the Dining Dollars Meal Plan.

Step 2 Write down your total cost, name, social security number and sign the Selection Form.

Step 3 Flex dollars (optional) can be purchased in the Office of Student Accounts at Cash-to-Card machines at selected locations on campus and online with a credit card (visa and master card only) thru the following link http://www.bridgew.edu/PSCC. Flex Dollars can be used for dining as well as making other purchases on campus (i.e. Bookstore, vending machines, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, copiers, laundry, etc.) Flex Dollars are also accepted at participating off-campus merchants.
