St. Olaf College Board Options

College policy permits students who are living on campus in the residence halls to choose from any of the three board options. If you live in a residence hall, you must have a full board plan. Students living in an honor house, living off campus, are student teaching, or doing clinicals through the Nursing Department are allowed to select the partial board option.

Only students who live off campus in non-St. Olaf housing are allowed to select the "No Board" option. Students who have documented medical conditions that require food modification should contact the Director of Residence Life to discuss meal plan options - including the "No Board" plan option.

You will be able to select your board plan online through the SIS (Student Information System). In June you will start receiving emails to your St. Olaf email account with further instructions.


If you fail to select a board plan online by August 31, 2012, you will automatically be enrolled into board plan #2.  Students have until the 10th day of class to change their board plan..  After this date, no board plans can be changed until the next semester. Feel free to contact the Student Accounting Office at tuition@stolaf.edu or 866-640-4702 with any questions about board plans.
