II. MEAL PLAN PAYMENT: All students must follow the applicable payment deadlines posted on the Academic Calendar for Fall 2013 and Spring 2014. The meal plan
charge is applied towards your student account and payment may be made online through the EZPay website using credit card (MasterCard, Discover or AMEX) or their
checking account. (Note: There is a 1.9% convenience fee for paying with a credit card.) Payment may also be made at the Bursar Office using cash, check, money order or
cashier’s check. Students who have an approved installment contract for tuition payments will automatically have their meal plan rolled into their installment contract and are
subject to the installment contract terms for late fees and interest. Students who are receiving financial aid have an extended payment deadline of September 11, 2013 for fall
and approximately January 29, 2014 for spring. Students who continue in residence in the University Village residence halls from the fall to spring semesters will be
automatically reenrolled to the same meal plan for the spring semester unless a request to change is submitted. Students enrolled in an Orange plan who continue in residence in
the University Village residence halls from the fall to the spring semester will also be automatically reenrolled in the same plan and any remaining balance left at the end of the
fall semester will be rolled over to the spring semester. The rollover is applicable only to the Orange plan and any remaining balance at the end of the spring term will be deleted
and is non-refundable. As described in University Graduate and Undergraduate Catalogs, Rules and Regulations of the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System, and
all other University rules and regulations, which may now or in the future come into effect, governing student conduct, failure to meet financial obligations to University may
result in any or all of the following nonexclusive sanctions: withholding future registration privileges, withholding the issuance of grades for an official transcript, and/or barring
re-admission. You covenant and agree to pay all expenses allowed by law incurred by the University in collecting the total amounts due under this contract, including collection
fees, attorney’s fees, court costs, and other costs.
III. MEAL PLAN CONTRACT CANCELLATION: There is no exemption from the financial obligation of the mandatory meal plan. Dining Services will only approve
meal plan cancellations for non-mandatory students prior to the University’s Census Day each semester. Dining Services may also cancel meal plan contracts for reasons to
include: withdrawal from university, non-payment of tuition & fees, catastrophic illness or accident, or some other specific incident beyond the control of the student. If Dining
Services approves the cancellation of the meal plan, you shall deliver to University payment of the daily contract rate calculated through the end of the week in which Dining
Services approved the cancellation (a week is defined as Monday morning through Sunday noon).
IV. CHANGE OF MEAL PLANS: Changes will not be approved after the University’s Census Day each semester (September 11, 2013 for fall and January 29, 2014 for

accordance with the Registrar’s withdrawal adjustment schedule. The university will not issue a refund for any missed meals. All refunds to the student will be applied first to
any outstanding debt to the university including, but not limited to, past due accounts and future installment payments, unless prohibited by applicable law. Any remaining
refund due will be mailed to the permanent address on Student’s records when processed by the Bursar’s Office. UNUSED PORTIONS OF YOUR MEAL CONTRACT,
INCLUDING ANY MEAL MONEY BALANCE REMAINING WITH YOUR MEAL PLAN ARE NOT REFUNDABLE.
VI. FINANCIAL AID: It is understood and agreed that any University administered financial aid (scholarships, loans, grants, etc.) may be applied in total by the university
against amounts owed hereunder notwithstanding any payment plan option elected by the student. If financial aid fails to cover any portion of the meal plan contract, the
student understands the balance of the meal plan contract will be the responsibility of the student. Further, the student understands the meal plan contract may not
be cancelled, due to financial aid not covering all or any portion of the meal plan costs.
I hereby acknowledge that I have read and agree to the terms and conditions on this contract. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A BINDING CONTRACT FOR THE ENTIRE
CONTRACT PERIOD. A student under the age of 18 must also have this contract signed by a parent, guardian or other person with legal responsibility for the student.
