Dining Dollars

Purchasing Power

Dining Dollars come with every meal plan or they can be purchased separately. Money in the account can be used to purchase meals and snacks at any on-campus dining facility. Your account information is loaded onto your Campus ID card, then a quick swipe through a restaurant cash register pays for the meals. Your Campus Spending Account works the same way.

Cool Things to Know about Dining Dollars

Food purchases made with Dining Dollars are non-taxable; this delivers an automatic savings of over 8 percent on every purchase.

If you deposit at least $10 of additional Dining Dollars at the beginning of each semester, you receive an additional 10 percent of purchasing power free. Do the math: add $100 over the minimum for your meal plan, get $110 in purchasing power on your account. If you wait until after the semester starts to add extra money, you must deposit at least $35 to receive the extra purchasing power.

Due to NYS Tax Law, unused Dining Dollars are not refundable at the end of either semester.
