23. Changing Rooms: Transfer Day is offered each quarter. There are no room transfers permitted prior to Transfer Day without written approval from Housing. On Transfer Day, requests for transfers are made through Housing on a first-come, first- serve basis through the students MyHousing portal. If your request cannot be accommodated, your name will be placed on a transfer list. If you wish to transfer after Transfer Day, you would need to contact your Residence Hall Coordinator for approval and your request is sent to Housing Services. We will try to accommodate your request, however, we can make no guarantee. At your request, you will be placed on a transfer list. Students are required to move within 48 hours from the time of approval. Failure to move will result in charges for both rooms. Students who change rooms without proper authorization from Housing will be charged a $100 penalty and may be required to move back to original assignment. 24. Meal Plans: All students living in the residence halls are required to have a meal plan. The meal plans are pre-paid dining debit accounts that residents use to purchase their meals, food, and sundry needs at all campus dining locations and convenience stores. The cost of each meal plan includes pre-paid dining debit dollars, which are added to the account at the beginning of each quarter. For further information regarding the meal plans, please visit our website, cwu.edu/dining . Note: Additions or changes to the meal plans offered after this document has been printed will be sent to each student who has submitted a residence hall contract for the 2020-2021 school year. A meal plan must be purchased every quarter. Money that remains in a student’s pre-paid dining debit account at the end of either fall or winter quarter will be rolled over and added to the meal plan pre-paid dining debit balance selected for the next quarter. At the end of the academic year (spring quarter), money that remains in the account is not refunded and is forfeited. Dining Services is closed on holidays. Exemptions to the meal plan requirement may only be for verifiable medical reasons. Exemption requests and medical verification must be submitted in writing and sent to Disability Services for evaluation. A committee comprised of Disability Services, Housing and Residence Life, and Dining Services will review all requests. Should an exemption be granted, a dining service cancellation charge of $300 will be assessed. Students with special dietary needs that may not be met by our dining service operation should NOT enter into this contract without consulting Housing and Residence Life. Students who transfer from the residence halls to campus apartments must pay a $100 overhead charge. Such transfer students must initiate a start-up dining services debit balance of $100 per quarter (or any part there of) left on their residence hall contract. Students transferring during fall quarter must have an initial balance of $300; those transferring during winter, $200; and those during spring, $100. This mandated balance must be established prior to approval of their apartment contract and is non-refundable. The mandated balance is valid only through the end of spring quarter for the current academic year. 25. Meal Plan Changes: Students are encouraged to review use of the prepaid dining debit account each quarter to ensure they are buying the correct meal plan to meet their dietary needs. Meal plans may be changed either through MyCWU or in person at the Connection Card Office, located in Bouillon 104. Telephone requests will not be accepted. Changes may be made during the University’s registration add/drop period only. 26. CWU Connection Cards: Campus identification cards are issued to all students and must be presented when using your prepaid dining debit account to purchase meals or snacks at any campus dining location. Should a card be lost or stolen, report it immediately to avoid its use by another individual and to arrange for replacement. Lost cards cost $35 to replace. Unauthorized use of your card by another individual is forbidden and may result in a $100 fine. (Cards cannot be borrowed.)
