My Meal Plan

myUnlimited Meal Plan

For all Resident, University Apartment & Commuter Students

myUnlimited in Resident Dining

The myUnlimited Meal Plan is required for all resident freshmen. This plan will allow for unlimited meal swipes at Indigenous and State dining rooms. Meal swipes used in resident dining rooms on the myUnlimited Meal Plan do not deduct any Discount Dollars.

myUnlimited in Retail Dining

The myUnlimited Meal Plan also provides the flexibility to eat at retail locations at deep discounts with Discount Dollars. The myUnlimited Meal Plan uses your ID card like a debit card account and carries your Discount Dollars to spend at retail locations for meals and beverages. Each time you swipe at a retail dining location, your meal plan’s Discount Dollars will get activated and the venue-specific discount (a 50% discount at campus/Sodexo retail brands and 30% discount at local/national retail brands) will be automatically calculated and the balance will be debited for your purchase. Your remaining Discount Dollars balance will appear on the register display and your receipt. If you run out of Discount Dollars before the end of the semester and would like to add more onto your myUnlimited Meal Plan, you can add up to $500 each semester. Remember your meal plan is tax free, so you will also be saving an additional 8% on all discounted sale prices. Please note that other campus funds will not activate these discounts, i.e., Munch Money, Podium, Campus Gold, F/S Dining Plan. You will also use your ID card to 'swipe-in' (for tracking purposes only) at resident dining locations-no Discount Dollars will be debited.

• Non-freshmen students that have studied abroad, completed an internship or were off-campus for another approved reason during the previous semester and are now living in a residence hall, will automatically be assigned the myFlex Meal Plan #2, but can change during the add/change period.
• If a residence hall student moves into a University apartment or off-campus, his/her meal plan will be removed unless the student notifies the ID Card office requesting the continuation of his/her meal plan.
• All meal plans (i.e., myUnlimited , myFlex, and myChoice) and Munch Money are exempt from NYS sales tax, and therefore cannot be used to purchase guest meals, and cannot be refunded, changed or transferred after the add/drop period.
