Denison Dollars is the name of the campus debit account for Denison students. This account can be used for purchases in all Dining Services locations, the University Bookstore, University Copy Center, Slayter Union, Bandersnatch, campus vending machines, and the laundry rooms in the ten largest residence halls. The advantage of Denison Dollars is you can dine, shop, and do your laundry on campus without carrying cash. The Denison Dollars account and the Denison student account are two separate accounts (they are not related).

Flex Dollars are an aspect of your meal plan and can only be used for food. Any Flex Dollars remaining at the end of the semester are forfeited. Denison Dollars can also be used to purchase food as well as many other goods and services. Denison Dollars can be purchased at any time and are unrelated to your meal plan. Any remaining balance on Denison Dollars carries over from semester to semester and from year to year, and can be refunded at the end of an academic year upon written request to Student Accounts.

Provided there are no outstanding debts to the college, any unspent funds in your Denison Dollars Account can be refunded at the end of any academic year upon written request to Student Accounts. This happens automatically when a student graduates or withdraws. Click below to learn more about Denison Dollars.

Your Enrollment Deposit is held by the University during your term of enrollment. Upon graduation or timely withdrawal from Denison, the deposit is first applied to any outstanding balance on the student's account, and the remainder is refunded. The deposit is forfeited if a continuing student withdraws after June 1 for the ensuing Fall semester or after November 1 for the ensuing Spring semester. For any new or transfer student (a student who has not attended Denison during at least one semester), the deposit is forfeited if the student withdraws after May 1.

No. The Activity Fee is mandatory for all full-time students. The Activity Fee provides basic support to the Denison Campus Government Association and the organizations they sponsor. It allows students to participate in a number of activities and events on campus with no out of pocket expense, and helps support student access to the Internet via the campus computer network.

The Health Center Fee is required of all full-time students regardless of whether or not they have chosen to participate in the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance Plan. It provides basic support to the Student Health Service and covers general operating expenses. Students may visit a doctor at no charge; however, fees for supplies and services (e.g. inpatient care, medicine, laboratory tests and procedures, office surgery and medical equipment) will be charged to the student.

Charges from the Health Center include fees for inpatient care, medicine, laboratory tests and procedures, office surgery, medical equipment, etc. These charges are automatically charged to the student account. It is the student's responsibility to request that charges be submitted to the Student Accident and Sickness Insurance. This can be done with a simple email to Beth Thorpe or the student can stop by Student Accounts. Students wishing to submit their Health Center charges to Student Accident and Sickness Insurance will need to notify Student Accounts every time they visit the Student Health Center.

The meal plans are reviewed and adjusted each year based on surveys of student use and preferences.  The following meal plans are available for the 2008-2009 school year. Three traditional meal plans (A, B, and C) are available to all students. In addition to those, three Apartment Alternative Plans (1, 2, and 3) are available to students living in satellite and apartment-style housing. One additional plan, the SRH Plan, is available to seniors (graduating in Fall 08 or Spring 09) who do not live in an apartment.

Traditional Meal Plans (Available to All Students)

Apartment Alternative Meal Plans (Available only to Apartment and Satellite-Housing Dwellers)

Meals are served at Curtis and Huffman dining halls. All seven meal plans allow the student to enjoy the Dinner Exchange meal in the Slayter Snack Bar, Sunday through Friday from 5:45 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. They also allow access to the "Late Night Option" available Tuesday night at Huffman dining hall and Thursday night at Curtis dining hall from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.

 
Meals Per Week: Meal Plans B and C and Apartment Alternative Plan 3 have a designated number of meals available per week. Meals are based upon a full seven-day week, and will be prorated during shorter weeks. Unused meals will carry over from week to week, but will be forfeited at the end of the semester. Each visit to the dining hall or the Slayter Dinner Exchange is considered a meal.

Block Meals: Apartment Alternative Plans 1 and 2 and the SRH Plan have a set number of meals available to be used during the semester. The entire number of Block Meals are available up front (vs. being allotted on a weekly basis). All unused Block Meals are forfeited at the end of the semester. Each visit to the dining hall or Slayter Dinner Exchange is considered a meal.

Flex Dollars: Flex Dollars can be used to purchase food at the Slayter Snack Bar, The Roost, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, or the Corner Market, or to purchase guest meals for your friends and family inside the dining halls. All unused flex dollars are forfeited at the end of the semester.

Denison Dollars: Meal plans can be supplemented at any time with Denison Dollars, which are purchased through Student Accounts. Any unused Denison Dollars will carry over from year to year and will be refunded when the student graduates or withdraws from Denison.

Students are enrolled in the meal plan they chose during the housing lottery registration. Students not enrolled during the prior semester are placed on Plan A, the Carte Blanche Meal Plan.

Students may change their meal plan option by returning a completed meal plan sign-up form. Residential Life places meal plan sign-up forms in student Slayter boxes in August for Fall Semester and in December for Spring. Students may make changes to their meal plan choice through the first two weeks of the semester. Changes made on or after registration day will have financial implications, as students are charged an appropriate daily amount for each plan, and these vary. Apartment plans 1 and 2 and the SRH plan are charged a flat fee regardless of when added.

Students should always park in one of the parking lots designated for use by their class. Students should never park in visitor parking. Cars which arrive on campus over the weekend should be registered on Monday. To register your car, you must complete and return a Vehicle Registration Form along with a photocopy of your valid State Vehicle Registration. The fee is $60 during the 2008-2009 academic year. To learn more about Vehicle Registration, click below.

Yes. A Denison vehicle registration sticker is not only a parking permit, but is required for roadway use of a motor vehicle. Cars, motorcycles, mopeds, vans, trucks, and all other motor vehicles must be registered with the University through Student Accounts. A student may purchase a temporary parking permit at a cost of $10 limited to a maximum length of 21 consecutive days. Vehicles with temporary parking permits are to be parked in the green parking area (First Year parking). For a parking map, click below.

Friends who are not Denison students and are not Denison employees should park in Visitor parking spaces at Mitchell or in the first-year parking lot beyond Ebaugh Pond. If you have overnight visitors you should contact Security (by dialing 0) for instructions. This will help prevent your guest getting a ticket.

Withdrawal from the University at any time is official only upon written notice to the Vice President for Student Affairs.  A request to the Registrar for a transcript of credits shall neither be considered a notice of withdrawal from the University nor a cancellaion of a Room and/or Board reservation.

The enrollment deposit is forfeited if a continuing student withdraws after June 1 for the ensuing Fall semester or after November 1 for the ensuing Spring semester. For any new or transfer student (a student who has not attended Denison during at least one semester), the deposit is forfeited if the student withdraws after May 1.

In the event of an official withdrawal after the first day of classes, a student may receive a partial refund. Read Denison's policy on refunds due to withdrawal.
