Meal Plans

All residential students will enjoy their experience eating in our dining areas at Wentworth and within the Colleges of the Fenway. Residential students have the opportunity to select from a variety of meal plan options. Please check out the WIT's dining website for more information.

Please note:

  • All first-year students and residents of Baker Hall or Evans Way/Tudbury are required to choose the Platinum, Gold, or Silver plans. 
  • Second- through fourth-year students or transfer students who reside in 555, 610, Louis Prang/Vancouver or 525 will choose from Platinum, Gold, Silver, Ruby and Emerald when completing their Housing Agreement.
  • Meal plans are purchased by semester. Any dining points leftover from the fall semester will be added to the spring semester balance. If a student is living on campus for the summer, any dining points leftover from the spring semester will be added to the summer semester balance. All dining points for the academic year must be used by last day of finals in August of that year. Meal swipes do not rollover from semester to semester.

Responsible Use of Alcohol Policy

Policy: 

The Responsible Use of Alcohol policy allows residential students of legal drinking age to attain Responsible User status and possess a limited amount of alcohol in their living space.  

 

The Responsible Use of Alcohol policy applies to students who are 21 years or older and reside in the Apartments@525, 555 Huntington Avenue, 610 Huntington Avenue, and Louis Prang and Vancouver apartments. Students under the age of 21 cannot consume alcohol no matter where they reside on campus. No alcohol is allowed in Baker Hall, Evans Way Hall or Tudbury Hall at any time. 

 

Eligibility: 

In order to possess alcohol in a residential space: 

  • 66% of the residential students of the apartment must be at least 21 years of age; 

  • Each residential student of the suite 21 years or older must review and complete the Responsible Use of Alcohol education module with a passing score of 80% or higher, available on Brightspace; 

    • If you do not see the course or do not have access, email Housing@wit.edu. 

  • Once all the students who live in the apartment meet the Responsible Use of Alcohol policy criteria and have successfully completed the Responsible Use of Alcohol module, they will receive a Responsible Use of Alcohol certificate, valid for the academic semester they are in. 

  • The Responsible User Certificate will have the names of only the Responsible Users residing in a apartment and must always be posted on the inside of the apartment door. 

 

Alcohol Possession Limits: 

In apartments, students who are 21 years or older and meet the responsible user criteria are permitted to have only one of the following, per responsible user: 

  • Twelve (12) 12 oz. Beers, or; 

  • Twelve (12) prepackaged/premeasured 12 oz. beverages such as “Truly”, or; 

  • Up to 1.5L of wine, or; 

  • Up to 750ml. of hard liquor (up to 100 proof). 

 

The amount of alcohol in a room is limited to the number of occupants of legal drinking age present (e.g., in a suite with 6 occupants of legal drinking age, each resident of that suite may possess 12 beers/seltzers limiting the total amount of alcohol allowed in the suite at any given time to 72 beers/seltzers regardless of the number of guests). The university reserves the right, in its sole discretion, and the specific circumstances of a given incident, to determine the volume of alcohol which constitutes a violation of this policy. 

 

Alcohol Possession Restrictions: 

  • Any alcohol that a Responsible User student possesses must be stored in the student’s bedroom.  

  • To be able to possess and store alcohol in a bedroom, all residential students of that bedroom must be 21 years or older.  

 

Important Notes: 

  • Violations of the alcohol policy that occur in a suite or apartment where there are Responsible Users, will result in all Responsible User certificates being confiscated and the Responsible Users in that suite losing that status. 

  • Students who are found responsible for providing alcohol to minors may be placed on University Probation. 

  • If a new resident who is not 21 years or older moves into a Responsible User apartment and the apartment falls below the 66% 21-year or older eligibility criteria, the Responsible Use of Alcohol certificate will be rescinded. 

  • As per the Guest Policy, regardless of age, no guest is permitted to bring alcohol onto campus. 

  • Students should review other important rules and regulations related to Alcohol in the Student Code of Conduct (e.g., Section 2, Subsection 1).
