<p>Yea sorry, I didn’t realize it that first-year students was the language. I thought it was just freshmen.</p>
<p>Once a student has soph standing, does Dining really know whether a student is a “first year” or not? </p>
<p>What if the student had been a transfer student.</p>
<p>I think some of the problem is that people were trying to change while their records were still showing “freshman.”</p>
<p>When my younger son started at Bama…as soon as his AP credits showed up and his status changed officially to sophomore, I called Dining and said that my child was a soph, he wanted Bronze plan. They may have looked at his standing, but it showed soph, so they changed it.</p>
<p>I didn’t tell them that he was just coming into the school from high school.</p>
<p>where would it show soph standing? transcript?</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten the meal plan downgraded successfully yet? Just wondering.</p>
<p>It should show on MyBama</p>
<p>Off topic a tad, but also regarding dining & $$$</p>

<p>Interesting…especially in light of the fact that students don’t lose their DD if they don’t spend them. They can get the money back.</p>
<p>bump -</p>
<p>anyone had any luck?</p>
<p>this is on my list to check into this week - however this week seems to ba almost gone!</p>
<p>: )</p>
<p>dd checked this past Tuesday and the answer was no. They knew she was a first year student, even though her status said “sophomore”: . . .and Dd knew to not meniton she was a first year sophomore.</p>
