Orillia Meal Plan

Orillia Campus Residence -  Meal Plan 

All Access Dining and Declining Balance Dollars (DB$)

A daily meal plan is included with your residence package at Lakehead University Orillia Campus.  Lakehead University Orillia offers all residence students "All Access Dining", a more flexible dining experience and only a short 2-minute walk from Residence!  This plan provides students more value for your dollar and allows students to eat as much or as little as they want in the Residence Dining Hall. 

Declining Balance Dollars ("DB Dollars") work similar to money on a debit card, and are stored with a student's meal plan information on their Lakehead University Student ID Card.  Every time a purchase is made using DB Dollars, the total purchase cost is subtracted from the dollar balance on the student card.  DB Dollars can be used anywhere on campus where food service is operated by the campus caterer. Top ups are available in increments of $100.00.

For any additional information regarding your student meal plan, or if you wish to discuss specific dietary needs, please contact Maddy Temple, Administrative Coordinator for Residence and Conference Services at ext. 3001 or resadmin.orillia@lakeheadu.ca. For student support or concerns related to your dining experience, please contact Tim Lade, Residence Area Coordinator at 705-242-2838 or tlade@lakeheadu.ca.
