Student Dining Plan Requirements
Any enrolled or leave term student residing in housing coordinated by the Undergraduate Housing Office (which includes all undergraduate residence halls and apartments, affinity/special interest programs, and College or privately owned GLO and undergraduate society facilities) must participate in a College dining plan at a level no smaller than the "SmartChoice5" or "BlockChoice45" plans (or their equivalent).
Any enrolled students who are not residing in housing coordinated by the Undergraduate Housing Office must participate in a College dining plan at a level no smaller than the "SmartChoiceOC" plan (or its equivalent), unless that student is participating in a semester off-campus program.
First-year students must participate in either the "SmartChoice20" or the "BlockChoice180" dining plan (or their equivalent) during their first semester at Dartmouth. After their first semester, first-year students are subject to the same dining plan requirements as upper-class students.
