THESE PRICES ARE IN EFFECT FOR FALL 2009 MEAL PLANS ONLY

Note: The Default Meal Plan for a student living On-Campus is the Flex Plan. Unless written notification is received by the RU Express Office that a student wishes to have a different plan they will automatically be assigned the default plan. This plan will not allow the student to eat all 19 meals. The 19 Plus Plan is the only meal plan that allows the student to eat all 19 meals every week.
