Module 3: Money Matters

Managing Your Campus Life Finances

Good news: housing and meal plans do not require separate billing. You can pay your tuition and course fees, as well as room and board, all at the same time and in the same way — in MyHive. This happens at the start of each semester. Billing statements will not be mailed out.

  1. You will be notified once the semester bill (Fall, Spring, or Summer) is ready.
  2. You will be directed to the MyHive Portal.
  3. Click on Student Finance.
  4. Click on Account Summary.
  5. Pay your bill.

If you wish to provide proxy access for someone else to view your student account details, financial aid award, and/or academic information, you must set that up through MyHive.

Dining at Lynchburg

At Lynchburg, you’ll never have a shortage of tasty and nutritious food. Our Burton Dining Hall is staffed with award-winning chefs dedicated to serving your unique tastes and dietary requirements.

This section covers Dining Dollars at the University, where and how to use them, and the different dining options on campus.

Selecting a Meal Plan

  • We offer several different meal plans to fit your unique situation and needs.
  • You can choose anything from unlimited access to flexible spending accounts.
  • If you are a traditional residence hall student (Tate, Montgomery, or Westover), you will automatically be assigned an unlimited plan.
  • Southside residents (apartments, townhomes, houses) get the Hornet 500 plan, providing a flexible spending account instead of meal swipes.
  • If you are not satisfied with your plan, you can upgrade it within the first three weeks of classes.
  • Commuter student? You can choose and pay for any plan you like. Meal plans are optional and can be added anytime by contacting the Solutions Center via email.

What are Dining Dollars?

Dining Dollars are what you purchase when you choose a meal plan. You don’t need to keep these in your wallet — they’re digital. Just swipe your student ID card when you arrive at the dining hall or campus restaurants.
