Meals and Points
Meal Plan Points are included with meal plans. These points are "dollars" that are part of your meal plan and can be used like cash at any dining location at Barnard. You may use these points to purchase à la carte meals and snacks. Barnard's Meal Plan Points carry over from the Fall semester to the Spring semester if you remain enrolled in a Barnard meal plan in the Spring. However, Meal Plan Points remaining in your account at the end of the academic year are forfeited. The meal plan in which you enroll is only for your use and may not be transferred to anyone else.
Any unused meals are forfeited at the end of each semester.
A drop or change of a meal plan will not be accepted after the fourth day of each semester. Charges will be prorated during this period, and a Meal Plan Change must be completed by the student in my.barnard.edu (under the Student Services tab, in the right hand column, under myHousing & Dining).
Meal Plan Selection
* First-year students on floors 2-8 in the Barnard Quad (Brooks, Hewitt, Reid, and Sulzberger Halls) are required to enroll in a Platinum Plan.
** Upper Class and Transfer/Visiting students residing on floors 2-8 in the Barnard Quad (Brooks, Hewitt, Reid, and Sulzberger Halls) are required to enroll in a Quad Upper Class Plan ("150 meals per term + 430 Points") as a minimum.
*** Upper-class and Transfer/Visiting students residing elsewhere in Barnard/Columbia housing and all full-time commuters are required to enroll in a Convenience Meal Plan (choice of "30 Meals with 150 Points," "30 Meals with No Points," "15 Meals with 150 Points," or "300 Points Only"). The default plan is "30 Meals with 150 Points" at a cost of $497 per semester, and the minimum plan is $331 per semester.
Barnard students will automatically be enrolled in a default meal plan based on their commuter status or residence hall assignment. If a Barnard student wishes to choose a different meal plan within the requirements above, she may select a plan by the first Friday of each semester at my.barnard.edu (on the Student Services page, in the right hand column, under the myHousing & Dining tab), and submit any additional cost to the Bursar.
Columbia students and Barnard VISP students must print paper meal contracts (below) and submit them to Bursar each term by scan (Bursar@barnard.edu), fax (212-280-8941), or mail (Barnard Bursar, 3009 Broadway, NY, NY 10027-6598).
Submitted forms must have your handwritten signature (not typed). If you are not able to fax or scan/email a signed form to us, you can use a website like pdfescape.com/open to fill out the form, draw your signature, and then send the signed form to us.

Study Abroad
After a student files a Notice of Study Leave with Barnard's Dean for Study Abroad, her tuition and fees for one term abroad will be $25,601 plus either $1,309 health insurance (fall semester) or $2,032 (spring + summer semester) payable to Barnard. All other costs (housing, board, other fees, etc.) are paid directly to the institution abroad at their own rate.
Payment of Barnard charges is due in full by August 1, 2017 for the fall 2017 semester and by December 1, 2017 for the spring 2018 semester. However, if you wish Barnard to pay your tuition abroad before these dates, we require that your Barnard invoice also be resolved earlier. Barnard will not be able to pay your tuition abroad until the Barnard bill has been resolved in full.
