Meal Plans
To ensure the health and well-being of our students, those living in the residence hall will be required to choose a meal plan during the summer prior to the start of the fall semester. (Students will be notified via myDCC e-mail when the meal plan selection process begins.) Our dining services provider – a worldwide firm that also serves some of our area's leading local private and public colleges – offers three options to meet students’ needs. These plans include "flex dollars" enable students to make additional food and snack purchases at the on-campus Drumlin Food Court, Drumlin Corner Deli and residence hall atrium. Unused flex dollars may be rolled over from the fall to spring semester, but expire at the end of the academic year in May.
On weekdays, three meals per day will be served in the Drumlin Food Court. Lunches and dinners are complete meals called “meal equivalents” and include a choice of entrée, salad, side dish, beverage and dessert. On weekends and holidays when the College is closed, students will enjoy all-you-care-to-eat brunches and meal-equivalent dinners in the residence hall atrium.
| Ten meals per week plus $200 flex dollars | $1,145 per semester |
| Ten meals per week plus $350 flex dollars | $1,245 per semester |
| Fourteen meals per week plus $400 flex dollars | $1,365 per semester |
