Students living in traditional housing (Indian, State, Colonial, Dutch and Alumni Quads) are required by the University to purchase a meal plan Incoming students living in traditional housing are pre-assigned to the Weekly 15 Block Plan (changing your meal plan) All meal plans include two components: Meals & Munch Money Your SUNYCard will provide access to meals and Munch Money at any of the residence hall dining locations and at the Campus Center retail locations

Residential Dining - Colonial Quad

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 dining locations.

Meal Trades are meal combinations available at the Campus Center dining 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 is a declining balance (debit) account that is built into your meal plan. Munch Money can be used to buy additional meals, snacks and beverages in Campus Center dining locations, The Patroon Room, Nano Cafe, Downtown Cafe, Commons Cafe or East Campus Cafe; in vending machines during specific evening hours; and in the residence dining halls. Each time you make a purchase, the amount is subtracted from your Munch Money balance.
