Meal Plans
HILL CARD & MEAL PLAN
All students are required to have a Stonehill ID during their time on campus. The Hill Card, your student ID, is used to access residence halls, fitness areas in the Sports Complex and other campus resources. It is also used to purchase food through the student meal plan and can be loaded with additional funds for other purchases on and off campus. You will receive your Hill Card when you arrive for Fall Orientation in August. However, we need a photo for your Hill Card now! Students can upload a photo starting May 6 and must complete this process by July 1.
You can use an existing digital photo, scan in a hard-copy photo, or take a new photo with a digital camera or smart phone. The photo you provide must be easily recognizable as you, and meet the requirements below. All photos will be reviewed to ensure they adhere to guidelines. Avoid these common mistakes that make your photo unacceptable: • Some or all of your head is cut off in the photo. • Your face is not visible or recognizable. • You are shown in profile or three-quarter view so only part of your face can be seen. • Multiple faces are shown in the photo (no group shots). • Your photo was taken too close up or from too far away. • Your photo is too blurry or light. • One or both of your eyes are not visible or blocked (for example, if you are wearing sunglasses). • Poor quality makes your photo unrecognizable. • You are wearing a hat or head covering (that is not worn for religious purposes). • Your photo has been tampered with or digitally altered. Photos must be in one of these file formats: .jpg, .gif or .png For more information on your photo ID requirements and instructions on how to upload, go to: http://www.stonehill.edu/current-students/the-hill-card/hill-card-photo-requirements/. Remember, the deadline for your Hill Card photo is July 1.

MEAL PLANS/EATING ON CAMPUS
Food services are available to all students in a variety of places, including the main cafeteria in the Roche Dining Commons, The Hill, Ace’s Place (in the Library), and the Holy Cross Cafeteria. While all resident students are required to have a meal plan, commuter students can also add money to their Hill Card and use these “Hill Dollars” to purchase items at the above locations. Stonehill works on a declining balance meal plan; so with each food item purchased your account balance decreases. Meal Plan A: (biggest plan) If you plan to eat 3 meals a day at the Commons or Holy Cross and you like to have a few snacks, you should choose Meal Plan A. This meal plan gives you the most amount of money to purchase food with.
When you choose a meal plan, it’s important to think about how often you plan to eat on campus, and whether you prefer to eat a full meal or smaller meals and/or snacks. All resident students are automatically assigned to Meal Plan C. However, you can change your meal plan. Please note, all meal plan changes must be completed by October 1 for the Fall Semester and February 15 for the Spring Semester. After these deadlines, meal plans cannot be changed for the remainder of that semester.
Meal Plan B: If you are an occasional meal skipper or really only have time for 2 meals a day, Meal Plan B might make the most sense. This plan allows you to eat 2 meals per day at the Commons or Holy Cross and also enjoy a snack or light meal.
When choosing a meal plan, some things to keep in mind are:
• What is your class schedule? • Will you be on campus most weekends? • Do you have a job off campus? • Do you snack between meals or late at night? • How many meals do you eat each day? • Will you have guests on campus who will want to eat with you?
Meal Plan C: (Automatically assigned to any student living on campus) With Meal Plan C, you should be able to eat 2 meals per day in Roche Commons or Holy Cross plus a snack at any of our dining locations.
Meal Plan D: (smallest plan) If you have off-campus commitments, or are a light eater,, this is a good option for you. You’re able to have one good meal every day and also grab a snack. You are encouraged to track your Hill Card funds. You may ask the cashier what your balance is and request a receipt. Or you can go online. More money can always be added to your Hill Card.
