Room and Board (Optional)

Graduate students have the option to live on campus in the residence halls or apartments. Graduate students residing at the college may choose to have a meal plan.

1. Room and board rates include the non-transferable right to occupy the room assigned and to participate in the meal plan except during vacation periods when the residence halls and dining facilities are closed as indicated in the official college calendar. In determining the room and board rates, it is understood that students will not necessarily be present at every meal served. No refunds are made for meals missed. Students with special dietary needs are not automatically granted exceptions to the board requirements. Students who have special diets prescribed by a physician should consult the Dining Services Director.
2. Carroll does not assume responsibility for loss or damage to any student’s personal property. Students are encouraged to obtain renter’s insurance for their personal property or consult their parent’s homeowner’s insurance policy for coverage.
3. Personal effects of returning students may be left in the room during the regular term vacations. However, all personal effects must be removed from the college residence halls at the end of the academic year or upon withdrawal from the college.
4. Occupancy of the student room or boarding on campus is not permitted after a student withdraws from the college. The College does currently allow recent alumni to continue their leases in the Campus Apartments pending availability.

Campus Apartments

The apartments are a great addition to the on-campus living options. Open to 3rd-year and above undergraduate students, as well as graduate students, these two and three-bedroom units require a 12-month lease. Graduate students are able to rent a campus apartment to live with approved same-gender roommates, their spouse and/or dependent children. The unfurnished apartments include stainless steel appliances. Utilities are billed by apartment. Parking permits can be purchased to access campus parking. Apartment renters are required to pay a deposit.

Monthly rent rates dependent upon apartment occupancy (e.g., 3 students in a 3-bedroom apartment=$475/month per student; 2 students in a 2-bedroom apartment=$525/month per student).

Note: Charges listed are subject to change without notice.

Meal Plans

The dining program at Carroll College is fashioned to build community and simultaneously reduce food anxiety for our students. While many colleges promote three meals a day in narrow meal windows, Carroll’s dining program operates a continuous service Dining Commons, and on-campus meal plans provide unlimited access during operating hours. Thus, students can step in for a full meal, a quick snack, or an extended study session, utilizing the St. Thomas Aquinas Commons [STAC] as they would a kitchen and dining room at home. 

Meal plan selections are for the academic year and are non-transferable. Students are offered the opportunity to change their meal plan selection each semester through Friday of the week school begins. Students must show their ID/meal card to enter the dining hall and when using their Flex Cash.

Anytime Dining Plan: (Per Semester)

For the 2023-24 academic year, students not living in the Residence Halls (Guadalupe, St. Charles, Borromeo, and Trinity) may choose between Anytime Dining or Block meal plans.

Flex dollars can be added to any block plan through the Sodexo My Way Website.

Block Plan: (Per Semester)

Anytime Dining meal plans have unlimited access to the STAC during operating hours. Unused Flex dollars carry forward from fall semester to spring semester only if a meal plan is purchased spring semester. Unused Flex dollars do not carry forward from spring semester to fall semester. 

Students may also take advantage of an “add-on” to their meal plan, the “golden ticket". Only students enrolled in a meal plan can participate in the golden ticket program.
Golden Ticket:

Golden Ticket Program – For $375 per semester, any student who has an Anytime Dining meal plan can enroll in the Golden Ticket program. This program includes:

§   To-Go bottomless mug refills for unlimited coffee and specialty drinks from the STAC and the Corette Library and up to four specialty drinks per day from Holy Grounds
