Plan Details
These plans are available to commuter students, staff, and faculty, and are completely optional.
Plans must be purchased outright and are not subject to financial aid or added to your student account. At the end of the spring semester, any unused meal plan balances, including Dominican Dollars, will be forfeited. Food and beverages purchased at college eateries with a meal plan are not subject to NY State sales tax.
Dominican Dollars can be used for meals and snacks at campus dining halls, vending machines, or for purchases at participating offsite vendors. You can check your balance and/or make deposits to your plan at 1Card.duny.edu.
Meal Plan Changes
Students can either upgrade to a larger meal plan or downgrade to a lower-priced meal plan within 48 hours of their scheduled residence hall move-in date.
All students are initially assigned the DU Standard Plan, but it can be changed when selecting housing. Freshmen cannot downgrade their meal plan during their first semester.
To make this change, please contact the Residence Life Directors. Your student bill, meal plan balance, and Dominican Dollars will be adjusted accordingly.
