All students in residence halls or fraternity housing (who are non-suburb eligible) are required to be on a meal plan. For the first semester that you attend Linfield (including transfer students) and living in a residence hall, you start with the unlimited meal plan. For the second semester and thereafter, a different option may be chosen. Meal plan changes may only be made during the first two weeks of fall and spring semesters and during the first two days of January Term.

Applicants for spring 2024 and fall 2024 start terms are not required to submit test scores to complete their application. Test scores will not be used in the admission, scholarship or financial aid process.
