Thiel College - Current Students




	Home The Dining Hall Rotunda Bistro Convenience Store Event Calendar Nutrition Information Meal Plan Options Informational Links Student Employment Food of the Future		Current Students > Food Services > Meal Plans A year ago, you told us in the Student Survey what you’d like. You asked for access to meal plans on evenings and weekends, a location on the West Campus, more funds to purchase food for your kitchens, and a way to pay for more guests. We listened and in Spring '06 redesigned your meal plans based on your wishes. For the spring semester, we analyzed the way in which you used the newly designed plans. We have made adjustments to better serve and assure that we are providing the best value to each student in all of our operations. Thiel Food Services is operated AVI FoodSystems, Inc., and your satisfaction is our goal. 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. You can change your meal plan for the Spring semester until Friday, January 26th. How? After confirming that you have completed all of the requirements of the Financial Services office for payment arrangements, simply print out the online 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. Vending Walls: Traditional, Preferred, and Flexible plans include access to the Vending Walls in the Academic Center lobby. The new machines will accept Meal Exchange “ME money” when you use your ID card, or cash. They are accessible any time the Academic Center is open. Do you want to use your meal plan for meals outside of the usual? Please contact us at 724.589.2190. You, your coach, or your advisor can request packed meals for travel, hall parties, student teaching, etc. You can specify what gets packed and what kind of payment from your meal plan to use. Check out the Meal Exchange Opportunities page for more information. Do you require menu accommodations? If you have food allergies, require a special diet, or have other dining concerns, please call us at 724.589.2190. Once we have the proper documentation from your physician, we will partner with you to create a plan just for you. Thiel Bucks: Looking for a way to avoid handling cash? You, your parents, or other family members can deposit money for Thiel Bucks on your ID. Your Thiel Bucks can be used at the Dining Hall, the Convenience Store, the Rotunda Bistro, and the Book Store. In the unlikely event you don’t use them all, Thiel Bucks are fully refundable at any time. Please call Thiel College Financial Services at 724.589.2810 for more details. Thiel Community Ten: Non-resident students, staff and faculty can purchase the TC Ten plan and enjoy meals in the Dining Hall with other members of the Thiel community. For more information on the TC 10 call 724.589.2190.
