DINING PLAN REFUND AND BALANCE ROLLOVER POLICY
2023-2024 ACADEMIC YEAR
The Board of Directors of Oneonta Auxiliary Services of SUNY Oneonta establishes the policy for refunds of any monies paid by students of the university for dining plans, as well as the rollover of any retail dining dollars from one academic period to another. OAS will advise our food service provider, Sodexo, of this policy so it may be incorporated in marketing and other informational material published by that company. OAS will also consult with Student Accounts, Residence Life and Housing, and any other parties responsible for material placed in critical public documents (i.e. Academic Catalogs, Student Handbook, Student Billing brochure, Residence Hall License) to ensure that the policy is consistently represented.
The refund policy we have developed is in compliance with New York State Tax Law governing the exemption of educational institutions from tax on their dining plans. Reference is 1105 (d) (ii) (B). Our refund schedule is based solely on the passage of time as opposed to consumption of food as the basis for the refund. Documentation concerning this matter, including legal opinions of OAS counsel, SUNY Counsel, the Tax Department and other miscellaneous sources is contained in a file entitled “Refund Policy” in the OAS Office. Please note that the refund policy only applies to dining plans; additional deposits made in retail dining dollars are not refundable.
The OAS Board has approved a liability schedule with two components:
- A basic administrative overhead cost is incurred in establishing and initiating any dining plan for a student, regardless of the withdrawal date or the length of time spent at the campus. Costs include insurance, equipment maintenance and repair, administrative operating expenses, depreciation, facilities reserves, and other related expenses delineated in the OAS Budget. The amount of this charge is calculated based on operating expense and facilities reserves as a percentage of total revenue. This is included in the 1st week charge of the semester's refund schedule.
Key Policy Items:
- A student withdrawing/taking a leave during a given semester will be liable as indicated in the schedule for the plan selected.
- A student who is classified “refused admission” by the Admissions Office after arriving on campus, but before the first day of classes, is not considered enrolled. Such student, by definition, would be on the Resident Dining plan. We would charge the daily rate per day for the access to Mills and Wilsbach, for each day the student is here. In addition, the student will be charged for any purchases made from his/her retail dining dollars portion of that plan. The student will have no further liability.
- A student who is withdrawing/taking a leave after the end of the fall semester, is not entitled to a refund of retail dining dollars.
- For a student who has an unused retail dining dollars at the end of the fall semester and “clears” Student Accounts for spring semester, OAS will roll such balance forward. (Each student must select another plan within the appropriate category for spring, regardless of the amount carried forward.) Refund calculations are based on the current semester liability and balances only.
- Students who opt for retail dining dollars during one or more summer sessions and have a balance left at the end of the summer will have that balance rolled forward to fall, as long as that student is “cleared” for that semester by Student Accounts.
- No refunds will be made for any unused retail dining dollars after the end of the spring semester.
- If at any time a student is dismissed from SUNY Oneonta for disciplinary reasons, there will be no dining refund.
- Please note that Dining Plans are refundable as indicated in this policy. However, additional deposits made in retail dining dollars are not refundable.
Notes:
- Our “Academic Year” is defined as beginning with the summer session and ending with the following spring semester.
- Under New York State tax laws, due to the exempt nature of our dining plans, students who have an unused declining balance and do not return to school in the spring semester, or who have unused balances at the end of spring semester, forfeit those balances.
- If a student leaves the residence halls at the end of the fall semester but returns as a student for the spring semester, any retail dining dollars from fall semester will be carried forward to spring semester as long as he/she has “cleared” Student Accounts. However, if the student subsequently withdraws, he/she would forfeit any remaining balance.
- Refunds for semester dining plans will be made by Student Accounts based on liability calculated and provided by OAS.
- “Cleared"” by Student Accounts, refers to the process of meeting the university's financial requirements. Once that status is certified to OAS by Student Accounts, we consider that person to be enrolled for that semester.
As authorized previously by the OAS Board of Directors and revised September 2, 2008 and June 17, 2009.
