<p>When do kids pick their meal plans if not freshmen?</p>
<p>anytime before school starts. no real deadline.</p>
<p>Returning students can select their 2012-2013 meal plans now and get a free t-shirt that gets them a free fountain beverage at retail dining locations when they wear the t-shirt.</p>
<p>Bama Dining offers incentives to purchase a meal plan throughout the year. The best incentives seem to be during the September-October time frame.</p>
