Some Frequently Asked Questions:
- How do I choose a dining plan that is right for me?
The Dining Plan size you choose will depend on a number of factors. The Dining Plans available for residences are the Regular Dining Plan ($2350); the Medium Dining Plan ($2850) and the Large Dining Plan ($3400). The selection and purchase of a Dining Plan does not guarantee your plan will last the academic year. Please see choosing a dining plan for some general guidelines to help you decide on a plan thats right for you.

- Do I pay tax on my purchases?
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.
In order to maintain the tax-exempt status on all Main Meal Accounts, early withdrawals will be prorated such that $70.00 weekly from the Resident’s Main Meal Account is non-refundable, 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 $2150 from all Main Meal Accounts is non-refundable. 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. Dining Plan refunds are issued in the same format as the original payment.
*If a student is staying in residence for the summer and is eligible for a Dining Plan refund, but wishes to continue using the refundable balance as an eligible Dining Plan, they must notify the residence by April 7 in order for their account to remain active after the first week in May. When the student moves out of residence during the summer, the refund process will apply.
