Campus Meal Plans
As the semester winds down, students should be monitoring their block meal plans. If they reach their meal limit, the most economical option is to purchase Flex Dollars for use on campus. Flex Dollars provide tax-free, deeply discounted meals, and they may be purchased online through the Business Office by calling 865-981-8249. Questions about meal plans should be directed to Fresh Ideas, 865-981-8075 or the Director of Residence Life, 865-981-8192.

For Spring Break, halls will close at 9 p.m. on the Friday before the break and reopen at 1 p.m. on the Sunday before classes restart.
Students who need to stay on campus during this time may make a request by filling out a form on the MC housing portal. Residents will be charged $15/night.
Final exams
Examinations for the semesters can be found on the Academic Calendar. The dates and times for exams may be different than regular class time and are listed in the course schedule or the instructors’ syllabus.
Students are encouraged to take breaks from studying, get reasonable amounts of sleep and eat healthy meals.
Payments for tuition and fees
Bills for the semesters will go out at least a month before the first days of classes and will be due within a few weeks of the beginning of the semester. If payment in full is not received by this time, an $110 late fee will be applied to the student’s account. Statements can be viewed and paid via the student’s Highland Hub account. Please note that fall semester balances must be taken care of before a student may return to campus for January Term.
Dean’s List
The Dean’s List is produced each semester, and is a list of those students who have high grades or meet a certain academic standard. It is the college equivalent of an honor roll. At Maryville College, a student must earn at least a 3.60 GPA for the semester, with no grade of “C” or below.
The College’s Office of Marketing and Communication posts the list online and distributes Dean’s List information to hometown newspapers.
