Meal Plan Policies

Meal Plan Cancellation Policy

Students who have purchased a meal plan and withdraw from Kean University or terminate their housing contract may cancel their meal plan. The meal plan credit will be based on the date of cancellation and number of meals/Cougar Dollars/Flex Dollars used at the time of cancellation. This cancellation request must be received within the semester the meal plan was purchased. Prior to the beginning of the academic semester a student who cancels their housing or withdraws from the University will receive a 100 percent reversal of the meal plan charge. Once the meal plan is valid and can be utilized in dining services, a student who cancels his or her housing or withdraws from the University will receive a credit calculated on a percentage basis (equivalent to the Residence Life cancellation policy), or the student will receive a credit based on the number of meals/Cougar Dollars/Flex Dollars used, whichever is higher. Refunds will be issued only after any balance due on the student account has been satisfied.  

Meal Plan Exemption 

Students may request to receive exemption from the meal plan for a specific documented medical condition. Please contact the Office of Accessibility Services, Kean University, 1000 Morris Avenue, DN-122, Union, NJ 07083.
