Dining on Campus

Residential Dining

  • Incoming students living in traditional housing are pre-assigned to the Weekly 15 Block Plan (see changing your meal plan in the left column)
  • All meal plans include two components:
    Meals & Munch Money
  • Your SUNYCard will provide access to meals and Munch Money at any one of the five residence hall dining locations and at the Campus Center retail locations
Residential Dining - Colonial Quad
 


Meals

The meals component allows you to enjoy up to a specific number of guaranteed meals each week or semester, depending on which meal plan you choose. You
may use your meals to treat a guest, dine more than once during a meal period,
or for selected meal trades at Campus Center retail locations.

Meal Trades are meal combinations available at the Campus Center food locations. When you swipe your card for a meal trade, a meal is deducted from your meal plan balance. For a list of times and locations where meal trades are offered, check our Meal Trade page!

Munch Money

Munch Money is a declining balance (debit) account that is built into your meal plan.

Campus Center Dining
  • Munch Money purchases are not subject to sales tax, which means you save 8% every time you use Munch Money.
  • Munch Money can be used to buy additional meals, snacks and beverages in the Campus Center retail locations, The Patroon Room, Nano Cafe, Downtown Cafe, Commons Cafe or East Campus Cafe; in vending machines during specific evening hours; and in the five residence dining halls.
  • Each time you make a purchase,
    the amount is subtracted from your
    Munch Money balance.

Additional Meal Plan Information
  • Off-Campus & University Apartment students can sign up for any meal
    plan, including meal plans for residential students. More Information may be found at:
    www.dineoncampus.com/albany
  • Plans are active when Residential Halls open for occupancy in the fall and in
    the spring.
  • Meals Swipes start fresh each semester and unused meals do not carry over
    to the next semester, but Munch Money balances carry over from semester to semester as long as you are an enrolled student and have purchased a
    meal plan each semester. If you do not sign up for a meal plan each semester, the
    balance will be forfeited and there are no refunds.
  • Meal plans end on the last day of exams each semester.
  • Students are billed for the initial amount of the meal plan contract, and meal plans may be covered by Financial Aid.

 

Changing Your Meal Plan

Meal Plans can be changed up until the 10th business day at the beginning of each semester. For the Spring 2008 semester, the last day to change your meal plan is Friday, February 1st.

Changes can be made:

  • On MyUAlbany
  • In person in the SUNYCard Office - Campus Center B52
