First Year Meal Plans
 
First Year 2020-2021

First year students living in the Residence Halls are required to have a Tiger 19, 14, or 10. First year students living in the RIT Inn can also choose from a Tiger 5. All meals within your selected Tiger plan can be used in any combination of meals at Gracie's or Meal Exchanges. In addition to Meal Exchanges, you get a certain amount of Dining Dollars to spend at any dining location or vending machine on campus depending upon your chosen plan.

If you need more help, we suggest you try our Find My Meal Plan tool. You can also print this sheet.

Meal and Meal Exchanges

Meals represent all you care to eat meals at our largest facility, Gracie's.

Meal Exchanges are valued at $9.50 and are included in the Tiger Meal Plans. Meal exchanges are used to allow students to eat at other retail dining locations on campus other than Gracie's. If your meal exceeds $9.50, the difference may be paid with Dining Dollars, Tiger Bucks, cash, or credit. Meal exchanges cannot be used at Campus Concessions, Nathan’s Soup & Salad, and Java Wally’s.

Total meals per week reset every Sunday before breakfast. 

Note: For the 2020-2021 academic year, the number of meals designated at Gracie’s is no longer a requirement in the Tiger 19, 14, and 10 meal plans.

Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are used to purchase perishable and non-perishable groceries and food items only. Available only to students, funds can be used at all RIT Dining locations, including vending machines and a 10% discount is offered at Gracie's. Additionally, food purchases are not charged the New York State 8% sales tax.

Any unused Dining Dollar balances at the end of fall semester will roll-over into spring semester. All funds must be used by the end of spring semester or funds will be forfeited. Rollover Dining Dollars are not considered to be an RIT meal plan, do not satisfy the required meal plan policy, and are not subject to the refund schedule.
