| Student Health Insurance If the student is covered under another plan, she may opt out of Barnard's insurance (annually) until August 23, 2019 at University Health Plans. To avoid late payment fees, the College *strongly* suggests that students opt out by the fall semester payment deadline of AUGUST 1, 2019. Although new students entering Barnard for the first time in the Spring 2020 semester and readmitted students for Spring may submit their opt out requests between November 6, 2019 through January 17, 2020, they are strongly cautioned to opt out by their payment deadline date instead in order to avoid late payment fees. |

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.
Any unused meals are forfeited at the end of each semester.
Barnard students are able to swipe in guests for meals up to the total value of the meal plan.
In addition, Barnard students are able to add meals throughout the year in increments of 5 and 10 and points in increments of 25 as needed.
Barnard students may use their meal plans at Hewitt Dining Hall and the Diana Dining Room on Barnard’s campus or John Jay, Ferris-Booth and JJ’s Place on Columbia’s campus.
The deadline to drop or change a plan is the fourth day of each semester - see below for details.
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 (19 meals per week + 120 dining points per term).
** Upper Class and Transfer/Visiting students residing on floors 2-8 in the Barnard Quad (Brooks, Hewitt, Reid, Sulzberger Halls) are required to enroll in a Barnard Upper Class Quad Plan (150 meals per term + 625 points) as a minimum.
*** Upper-class and Transfer/Visiting students residing elsewhere in Barnard/Columbia housing are automatically enrolled in the Flex 100 Meal Plan (100 meals per term + 400 points) but may opt into any other plan. See Changing a Meal Plan Selection below.
**** All full-time commuters are required to enroll in a Convenience Plan (400 points only) as a minimum. Commuters may upgrade to any other Barnard plan by the 4th day of each semester (see below).
Making a Selection
Barnard students are automatically 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 and submit any additional cost to the Bursar.
Columbia 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). Columbia students must submit full payment with their dining contracts.
Submitted forms must have the student's handwritten signature (not a typed font). 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.

Changing a Meal Plan Selection
The deadline to drop or change a meal plan is the fourth day of each semester:
- September 6, 2019 for the Fall 2019 semester.
- January 24, 2020 for the Spring 2020 semester.
Meal Plan Changes must be completed by the student in my.barnard.edu (under the Student Services tab, click the Meal Plan link in the right hand column under myHousing & Dining). Charges will be prorated during this period.
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 $28,050.50 plus either $1,285 health insurance (fall semester) or $2,003 health insurance (spring and summer semesters together) payable to Barnard. The student is responsible for payment of all other costs (housing, board, other fees, etc.) directly to the institution abroad at their own rates.
Payment of Barnard charges is due in full by August 1, 2019 for the Fall 2019 semester and by December 2, 2020 for the Spring 2020 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.
