Meal Membership Plan changes are allowed through 4:00 PM  on the Friday of the first week of classes. This gives students a week to determine if they have chosen the plan that best fits their eating habits. Notifications will be sent out in November stating that students can change their plans for the following semester starting December 1 through the first week of the spring semester. To change plans, students should contact the Office of Residential Communities at 607-871-2186 or reslife@alfred.edu.
