Catering credit
Your compulsory catering credit is returned to you as meal credits. You can carry over credits from term to term but not to the following academic year.
You can sell or transfer meal credits during the Easter vacation and Trinity Term to other St Hilda's students. Any unused credits will be lost at the end of July each year.
Please note: meal credits are not refundable.
Compulsory credit charges (2023/24)
Costs per term for compulsory catering credit charges, which you can redeem against meals, are as follows:
- Undergraduates living in college accommodation - £150 per term
- Graduates and undergraduates living out in privately owned properties - £50 per term
You can buy more meal credits if you need them via UPay.
