Orillia Campus Residence -  Meal Plan for 2021-2022

All Access Dining and Declining Balance

Included with your accommodation package at Lakehead University Orillia Campus is a daily meal plan in which residence students are automatically enrolled.  Lakehead Orillia offers all residence students "All Access Dining", a more flexible dining experience and only a short 2-minute walk from Residence!   This plan provides students more value for their dollar and allows them to eat as much or as little as they want in the Residence Dining Hall. 

Declining Balance works similar to money on a debit card, and is stored with a student's meal plan information on their Lakehead University Student ID Card.  Every time a purchase is made using Declining Balance, the total cost is subtracted from the dollar balance on the person's student card.  Declining Balance dollars can be used anywhere on campus where food service is operated by Imperial Coffee & Services Inc.

Students can choose from two meal plans.

5 Day Meal Plan
- All Access Dining in the Residence Dining Hall Monday to Friday + $530.00 declining balance

7 Day Meal Plan
