Brock Card

Your Brock Card is your “passport” to all things at Brock. It’s your main identification on campus, giving you access to all the services designated for you as a Brock student. If you’re living on campus, it will be your meal plan card and may be used for access to your residence. It can also be used by any card holders as a debit card for purchases on campus. It’s easy, convenient and secure.

Your Brock Card is also the required identification for your athletic complex membership, your transit card (with affixed U-Pass sticker), for entrance to exams, and for library privileges.

Meal plans

An All-Access meal plan provides unlimited meals, snacks and beverages in each of Brock’s all-you-careto-enjoy Fresh Food Company locations. A meal plan is required when living in Residence. 7-day All-Access meal plans are the primary meal plan, with a 5-day (Monday to Friday only) plan available for students living in Village and Quarry View townhouses. Students living in Village or Quarry View may upgrade to a 7-day All-Access meal plan.

In addition to the All-Access plans, supplementary dining and flex dollars are included. Both can be used to enjoy on campus food; however flex dollars can also be used for services on campus such as printing and laundry facilities. Meal plan holders have exclusive access to our executive chef and registered dietitian to support students who require dietary accommodations, as well as special events and pop-up meal specials.

Living off-campus? No problem! Meal plans are available for students living off-campus.

Residence

Living on campus is an essential part of the university experience. It is where the transition to independence is supported, and lifelong friendships begin. Residences is a home away from home that nurtures a unique sense of place and identity for all students living on-campus. We typically accommodate almost 2,800 students in eight residence complexes.

Within residence we have Residence Life Staff (RLS) — upper-year students living within the houses, halls, courts and blocks who are trained to be a support and resource for residence students. Our three 24/7 Service Desks help by answering questions or pointing students in the right direction. They are also the main point of contact for managing maintenance, emergencies, mail/packages, keys/cards, guest sign-ins, vacuums and more. Also, all residence students sign an agreement to abide by the Residence Community Standards, which state expectations for behaviour.

Upper year students have three options for on campus housing after their first year.

1. Residence – Continue to live with a community of undergraduate students. You’ll benefit from all the residence community support and extend your residence life experience. Meal plans are mandatory.

2. Brock Suites – Exclusive upper-year and Graduate Studies student housing.

3. Residence Life Staff – Join the team as a live-in mentor and programmer. Grow your leadership skills and build a community for undergraduate students.
