Meal Refunds for Approved Off-campus Courses

The College will refund a portion of the amount charged for meals in a particular term to any student who completes a Cornell-sponsored off-campus internship, field course, independent or Special Study, etc., provided that the student:

• petitions for this refund through the Registrar's Office at least seven class days before the start of the off-campus course, and

• does not eat any meals on campus (except those for which the student pays directly) during the three-and-one-half weeks of the term. Students may begin taking meals again Wednesday evening of the fourth week. A student who obtains a meal at Cornell without paying for it during the period for which he or she is requesting a refund will be charged for the full term and will forfeit the refund.

For short field trips, box meals can be obtained from the College Food Service if the supervising instructor notifies the Director of Food Service in writing at least four days in advance. Students with special schedules should consult the Food Service Director for possible assistance in arranging their meals.

A petition for a meal refund may be obtained from the Registrar's Office.
