Payment Types

We offer a variety of payment methods to make purchasing on-campus convenient and fast.

 

Meal Plans

A meal plan is a prepaid account for on-campus meals available to students. At the start of the term, students choose and pay for a predetermined plan to cover meals throughout the semester. To purchase a meal, swipe your RIT ID card and the meal cost is deducted from your meal plan.

Meal plans are comprised of Dining Dollars only. Dining Dollars can be part of a meal plan or added voluntarily throughout the semester via Tiger Spend. Terms and conditions apply to each. 

Benefits

  • There is no New York sales tax charge (8%) on Dining Dollars.
  • Used for food purchases only at all on-campus dining locations excluding Java Wally's.
  • A set amount is included in each dining plan per semester or they can be added as needed via Tiger Spend.
  • Funds never expire and roll over until graduation.
