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.
