Students living in Residence are given a tax-exempt status on their Dining Plan. Under Government Tax Regulations, all purchases of food on campus, using a Dining Plan card will be considered a tax-exempt purchase. Purchases of non-food items, certain snack foods or carbonated beverages will be subjected to all applicable taxes. These taxable purchases will be deducted from the Confectionery Account on your dining plan card.
- How do I cancel or request a refund of my Dining Plan balance?
Requests for cancellations, refunds or carry - forward balances are initiated when residents complete an online Residence Withdrawal Form (prior to March 30th) on the Residence portal.
Requests for meal plan refunds are initiated when Residents complete the online Residence Withdrawal Form. To maintain the tax-exempt status on all Main Meal Accounts, early withdrawals will be prorated such that $85.48 weekly from the Resident's Main Meal Account is non-refundable or nontransferable, or the amount from the Main Meal Account that has been spent by the Resident, whichever is greater. At the end of the agreement, the first $2650.00 from all Main Meal Accounts in non-refundable or nontransferable. Applicable to all refunds, a Resident must have a total Dining Plan balance of $75.00 or more to be eligible for a refund, less a $50.00 administration fee and any fees owing to Humber. Residents who qualify for a Dining Plan refund will receive a credit on their MyHumber account within 8 weeks after the withdrawal form and move out are complete.
