Meal Plan Packages 2023-2024

A meal plan is required for resident students and is valid when classes are in session. As a resident student, you will automatically be placed on the TC Basic meal plan when you have completed arrangements for room and board. You can choose a different plan following the completion of all Financial Services requirements. To change your meal plan, after confirming that you have completed all of the requirements of the Financial Services office for payment arrangements, simply fill out the meal plan form or pick one up from Food Services. To access your meal plan, you must have your Thiel photo ID. Keep the card with you anytime you plan on using your meal plan or Thiel Bucks. It insures that your account is properly maintained AND protected from theft. Your own ID is required for your meal plan use at all of the locations. Meals are not transferable; you must use your own ID.
