Resident 2008-2009
Menu of Meal Plan Options
Descriptions are based on each semester and pricing is per year
As a resident student you have more important things to concern yourself with than worrying if you have enough meals for the entire week. Roger Williams University has crafted two great meal plan options to provide easy access to great food and communal dining.
The following meal plan options are available to any student, but required for those residents who live in our traditional style living areas.
All students living in RWU resident halls must be enrolled in either the Carte Blanche Gold or the 200 Block Plan. They are eligible to buy-up to the Carte Blanche Platinum.
Carte Blanche Platinum
Unlimited meals in residential dining plus 300 Hawk Dollars per semester. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Unlimited meals in residential dining plus 125 Hawk Dollars per semester. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Ideal plan for students who want to eat an average of thirteen meals per week on campus and use $300 in Hawk Dollars throughout the semester. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
100 Block Plan
Ideal plan for apartment dwellers who want to eat an average of 6 meals per week on campus and use $150 in Hawk Dollars throughout the semester. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Commuter Plan
This plan offers the best value for commuting students. You will receive 15 meals per semester that can be eaten at any meal period, as well as 300 Hawk Dollars. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Carte Blanche
For students living in our residence halls, there is no better value than the meals per week option. This option allows you to enjoy up to an unlimited number of guaranteed meals each week for the semester that you have signed up for. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Block Meal Plans
Block Meal Plans offer students the most flexibility as the amount of meals that you sign up for can be used throughout the semester in any manner. Students can use their block meals at our two all-you-care-to-eat dining halls. Unlike the traditional meals per week plans available to resident students, meals on our block plans will carry over from week to week. So, you won’t have to worry about losing your meals each week if you do not use them. With a Block Meal Plan, there are no restrictions and the flexibility is endless! Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year.
Hawk Dollars
Hawk Dollars are accepted like cash in all our dining locations. Hawk Dollars are a “declining balance account” that works on the same principle as a debit card. You can use your points to purchase beverages, snacks, or even a full meal in all of the RWU retail and residential locations. Each time you make a purchase, the purchase amount is subtracted from your Hawk Dollar balance. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year. Additional Hawk Dollars can be added to your account at any time.
Unicard Points
Much like Hawk Dollars, Unicard Points are accepted like cash in all our dining locations and are a “declining balance account” that works on the same principle as a debit card. However, your Unicard Points are assigned when a customer adds extra money to their Unicard at the Bursars Office or Unicard Office. As an extra bonus, a 10% discount will be given to all customers who use their Unicard Points to make a purchase at our retail locations.
