Meal Plans

Residence Halls Meal Plan

All students living in the Bartley residence will be required to participate in a comprehensive, mandatory meal plan.

• All day dining in the Residence Dining Hall + $800.00 declining balance
• Students are allowed unlimited entry into the Residence Dining Hall during regular hours of operation
• Declining balance dollars can be used anywhere on campus where food service is operated by Aramark.

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.

Please note: there are no refunds on unused meals and/or declining balance amounts nor do they carry over to the next academic year.

As each unit in these accommodations has a full kitchen, meal plans are not mandatory. However, the Food Services Office offers several attractive meal plan options to those students not wishing to prepare all of their own meals.

See https://lakeheadu.campusdish.com/ for voluntary meal plans.

For these voluntary plans, unused amounts may be eligible for a refund.

For more information please contact the Aramark Office. Ext. 8142
