On-Campus Dining Options

Meal Plans begin with lunch on Wednesday, August 20 and end on the last day of each semester's exam period. Your meal plan confirmation should appear with your housing assignment.

An SU I.D. Card is required for access to any of the dining centers. It is a violation of the Student Code of Conduct to use another student's SU I.D. for access to the dining centers and/or meals.

The deadline to lower your fall semester meal plans is Friday, September 5th.

Information on spring meal plans is e-mailed to students in mid-November.

All North Campus residents and first-year students living in the Skyhalls at South Campus are required to be on a University meal plan as outlined in the Terms and Conditions of Student Housing (http://housingmealplans.syr.edu/pdf/terms_and_cond.pdf). You may purchase or change a meal plan online. Use your NetID to log on to http://myslice.syr.edu and select "Dining Plans & Points."

 

SUpercard Food

SUpercard FOOD is a declining balance cash account that can be used for the a la carte purchase of food and beverages in all Food Services locations and University vending machines. The account is accessed through your SU I.D. card. The ease and convenience of a FOOD account has made it a very popular Food Services feature. The FOOD account should not be confused with the PLUS account, described below.

All University meal plans come with a FOOD account. You may purchase FOOD funds online 24/7, anytime during the academic year. Use your NetID to log on to http://myslice.syr.edu and select "Purchase SUpercard FOOD/PLUS." Be sure to specify FOOD when processing your request.

Unused balances on your FOOD account carry over from fall to spring semester. There are no transfers or carryovers of unused balances in FOOD accounts after June 30. Food and beverage purchases are exempt from New York State sales tax.

Dining centers will not be open and cash operations will be open on a limited basis during Thanksgiving break, semester break, and spring break.

 

PLUS Account

The PLUS declining balance cash account provides access to goods and services (other than food) through your University I.D. card. The PLUS account can be used in campus washers and dryers, to buy tickets at the Schine Box Office and Carrier Dome Box Office, and at the Schine Copy Center. The PLUS account should not be confused with the SUpercard FOOD account, described above.

A minimum purchase of $25 is required to open a PLUS account. You may replenish PLUS funds online 24/7. Use your NetID to log on to http://myslice.syr.edu and select "Purchase SUpercard FOOD/PLUS." Be sure to specify PLUS when processing your request.
