Our Meal Plans work on a declining balance system using your AC Card. Firstly, choose your meal plan that fits your needs and your spending. When you purchase your Meal Plan, food dollars are deposited into your ‘Meal Plan account’. Then, simply present your AC Card to the cashier at any of the available locations to eat on campus. The appropriate food dollars will be deducted from your ‘Meal Plan account’.
- Bring your application form to the Food Services Office in room D111 (the Food Services office) or call (613-727-4723 x 5723) or email (mealplans@algonquincollege.com) us!
- Once you have made a payment your plan is ACTIVE!
- Funds are linked to your AC CARD
This depends on your appetite! Breakfast can be anywhere between $5-$8, lunch $7-$12, and dinner $10-$13. Throw in a snack and the daily total can range from $22 – $35. To determine what Meal Plan is right for you, calculate what you feel you would spend on campus and multiply that by 115 (the number of class days during the academic year). Please note this does not include weekends.
