Kennesaw State University’s Culinary and Hospitality Services announced Wednesday, Sept. 8 that it will eliminate the restriction on guest swipes for Weekly8 and Weekly10 freshmen meal plans.
The updated policy allows first-year residential students to swipe in an unlimited number of guests at The Commons. The policy introduced earlier this semester would have restricted students to five guest swipes per semester.
The announcement comes less than a month after similar changes were made to all Access meal plans following a student petition.
“Students believe they should be allowed to use their swipes however they see fit,” Jennifer Duggan, senior director of Culinary and Hospitality Services, said in a press release. “They paid for them, they should be able to use them how they want.”
Kasey Helton, interim associate vice president for Auxiliary Services, announced the first policy change to the Access meal plans at a Student Government Association meeting.
The meal plans have been a popular topic for KSU students this fall since so many new changes and restrictions were introduced. Representatives for both the Auxiliary Services and Culinary and Hospitality Services have been responsive to the students and have stated that their willingness to accommodate them.
Essentially, all meal plans are back to the policy of prior years — students can use their swipes on as many guests as they desire.
