What's the difference between Meal Plans, Tiger Bucks, and Dining Dollars?

 

Meal Plans

 

  • Our meal plans meet students’ diverse dining needs, eating habits, provide great value, the highest quality foods, and maximum flexibility.
  • A meal plan is usually added to a student’s account prior to the start of a semester and is paid in advance, however, a meal plan can be added after the start of the semester.
  • Tiger meal plans help with budgeting meals as they reset weekly.

 

Dining Dollars 

  • Dining Dollars can be utilized at all RIT Dining locations including vending machines.
  • They are used to purchase perishable and non-perishable groceries and food items only.
  • They save New York State sales tax (8%) on food purchases.
  • Dining Dollars come as part of a meal plan or can be added voluntarily throughout the semester.

 

Tiger Bucks

  • Tiger Bucks is a valuable and convenient debit account accessed through your RIT ID card.
  • Tiger Bucks can be used at multiple on-campus locations. They can be used for dining, paying lab fees, purchasing RIT Hockey tickets, printing, and much more.
