Are meal plans included in tuition?

No, you cannot include room and board (including meal plans) as eligible tuition expenses. You can include fees such as student activity fees if they are charged to every student as a condition of enrollment. A meal plan is a pre-set number of meals purchased in advance for an academic semester at a discount off of the walk-in price. With your meal plan, you will be free to eat when and where you want, with some limitations, throughout the semester.

In other words, a meal plan is pre-paid account for your on-campus meals. At the start of the term, you pay for all the meals you'll eat in the dining halls.
