Spring Meal Plan Changes

For the Spring 2021 semester, all meal plans have been converted to Dining Dollars only plans.

Fall meals and meal exchanges end with dinner on Tuesday, November 24th. There will be no meals or meal exchanges active after classes have ended (November 24th), but Dining Dollars and Tiger Bucks will be available for use. Any remaining Fall Dining Dollars will roll over to Spring semester.

Spring meal plans will activate early on December 9, 2020 and will not pause during the break. 

Students will be placed on a default plan but may upgrade or add Voluntary Dining Dollars at any time throughout the semester. The last day to change a Spring meal plan is January 24, 2021.

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 rollover 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.
