Meal Plan Terms and Conditions
The Longwood University Meal Plan Terms and Conditions are for the full academic year (August-May), or if entered into after the start of the academic year, for the balance of the academic year. A meal plan is mandatory for all residential students living on the main campus or within any off-campus Longwood-managed housing.
Longwood University shall provide meals on a regular basis subject to the Food Service board contract. Lancer Cards are required for meal plan access. Residential students (new and returning) select a meal plan as they complete an on-line room and meal application. Prior to the submission of the on-line application, a student must indicate that he/she has read and agrees to the terms and conditions of the Housing and Meal Plan Contract. It is recommended that a copy of these terms and conditions are printed for personal records. Submission of an on-line application will be considered legally binding. Only the contracted student is permitted to use the purchased meal plan. Meal plans are not transferable nor are they intended for resale.
Changes to a meal plan selection must be reflected on the billing statement. Main campus residents failing to select a meal plan prior to the first day of classes will be assigned the All Access Meal Plan. Residents, living in Longwood managed apartments, failing to select a meal plan prior to the first day of classes will be assigned a Block 80 Meal Plan.

Meal Plan FAQ
How does a Meal Plan work?
A magnetic strip on the back of your student ID card works with our computer system to identify you as a dining plan member. By combining a "Semester Meal Allowance" with "Bonus Points" and/or "Lancer CA$H," you can customize a plan that’s right for you. Meals can be used at our Residential Dining Facility in Dorrill Hall. Bonus Dollars are accepted at all dining locations on campus and Lancer CA$H can be used on and off campus.
Do I Need a Meal Plan?
Longwood University and Dining Services want to allow the Longwood students the opportunity to fully experience campus life and to stay connected to the campus community. The on-campus dining locations help to build community through socialization.
If you live in Longwood Managed Apartments (the Landings or Lancer Park), you must sign up for a plan, however, you have the flexibility to choose any plan that meets your needs.
Commuter students are not required to purchase a meal plan. However, we strongly encourage you to save money and experience campus life with a meal plan.
