Meal Plans

Residence Halls Meal Plan

All students living in the Bartley and Prettie residences 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.
