Meal Plans

Our meal plans are designed to meet your diverse dining needs and eating habits. Our plans provide great value and flexibility for catching a meal on the go or enjoying a sit-down meal.

How to Use Your Meal Plan
  • All meal plans are funds comprised of Dining Dollars. The meal plan you select determines how many Dining Dollars are in your account at the beginning of the semester.
  • Dining Dollars are used to purchase perishable and non-perishable groceries and food items only.
  • Make sure to check your balance regularly at tigerspend.rit.edu. It is your responsibility to budget your spending each week.
MyLife
You can enroll and manage your meal plans and housing contract through the MyLife online portal. 
Payment Types
We offer a variety of payment methods to make purchasing on-campus convenient and fast.
Tiger Spend
An online portal where you can manage your dining funds.
Tiger Pay
Tiger Pay, found in Tiger Spend, utilizes mobile payment technology for in-person purchases from your smart device. A unique barcode generates each time you log into Tiger Spend.
