*Effective January 1, 2014, NC G.S. 105-164-13(27) required a tax assessment on meal plans. On April 1, 2014, Campbell University was required to assess a 7% tax rate to student accounts for meal plan purchases. The student meal plan cost includes the 7% NC tax assessment.
Students are assigned the minimum required plan based on academic level but can upgrade to a higher plan if desired.
Resident students wishing to change from the default meal plan or commuting students wishing to purchase a meal plan should complete the electronic meal plan change form available on the Bursar’s Office webpage under Student Resources.
