The on-site boarding programmes today allow:

• Boarding students to choose a full-time boarding formula (morning, midday and evening) over five days, excluding weekends;
   
• 5th year students to take their meals using restaurant tickets, considering their need to carry out end-of-study projects and to prepare their professional integration;
   
• High-level sports students to benefit from restaurant diets adapted to their sporting discipline.

External students can choose one of the packages on offer, excluding the one reserved for the 5th year.

INSA Lyon has several restaurants with specific catering arrangements:

• Traditional self-service: Le Castor & Pollux.
• Fast food: Le Prévert.
• Grill: Le Grillon.
• Italian food: L'Olivier.

Access to the restaurant is given on presentation of the INSA- University of Lyon student card, issued at the start of the school year.
This free card is valid for the whole period of their studies at INSA Lyon.
A replacement must be paid for. Issued on a strictly personal basis, it may not be lent under any circumstances and doing so may lead to penalties.
If necessary, the inspector is authorized to confiscate INSA Lyon student cards.

INSA students can eat at times not covered in their basic package or invite 2 people per dining service, regardless of their status, by purchasing additional meals to the basic package (see conditions below)

Payment

The invoicing of dining expenses is done monthly, at the start of the month, based on 2-week (September), 3-week or 4-week months.

It is possible to opt for direct debit.

5th year boarding students, who have opted for payment by ticket, pay an advance of €210 on entry into the boarding accommodation. They remain “5/7 boarding students” until restitution of this sum.
They replenish their account on-site as needed.
