Takeout Meals at Dine-In Locations
Takeout meals
If you would like a takeout container, please have your physical Stony Brook ID Card with you. Students who may be in a hurry and need a takeout option for dine-in can do so with
three easy steps:
Let the cashier know you wish to use the takeout option upon entry to dine-in.
Hand your ID card to the cashier and collect your takeout container and beverage cup.
After you fill your takeout container and beverage cup, return to the cashier to collect
your ID card. Remember to take plastic utensils with you when you leave.
Takeout is not available once you have eaten your meal inside of dine-in. One box
and one cup is permitted to be taken out for each swipe. You cannot swipe twice on
the same visit.

Requirements, Waivers, and Financial Aid
New students are going through a transition living away from home for the first time,
making new friends, deciding on their book buying options and learning to manage their
time with classes, homework and social activities. When new students are on a plan
with “unlimited meals” they don’t have to worry about budgeting Dining Dollars.
Any student living in a residence hall which is not a “cooking building” is required
to select one of the resident meal plans offered by Campus Dining. This requirement
has been in place for many years and it was established to avoid health and safety
issues in the residence halls.
The safety of our students is our number one concern. If students don’t have access
to a proper dining facility, they may rely on cooking appliances in their residence
hall rooms to prepare their meals. These appliances have been demonstrated to be fire
hazards as they can overheat and cause fires, endangering the lives of our students.
Another main concern is sanitation. We would like students to live in the utmost sanitary
conditions at the residence halls. The residence hall rooms do not have adequate facilities
to prepare food in sanitary conditions and allow for proper cleanup which may cause
the presence of vermin as well as create insect infestations.
Although many buildings present cooking areas, these are meant for light cooking and
are not fitted to withstand high traffic.
Buildings that require a meal plan:
Amman
Gray
Irving
O'Neil
Benedict

Buildings with Cooking Rooms (some rooms in these buildings might require a meal plan):

Students living in an on campus apartment are not required to have a meal plan. Those
buildings include:
Chapin
West
Schomburg
Commuters are not required to be on a meal plan, but may choose from any resident
plan, as well as, a variety of plans designed especially for them.
No, you will be placed on the same plan you selected in the Fall. All meal plans selected
are ANNUAL (Fall and Spring) agreements. Changes and cancellations must be made in
writing to the FSA Services Office at mealplan@stonybrook.edu.

Takeout meals
If you would like a takeout container, please have your physical Stony Brook ID Card with you. Students who may be in a hurry and need a takeout option for dine-in can do so with
three easy steps:
Let the cashier know you wish to use the takeout option upon entry to dine-in.
Hand your ID card to the cashier and collect your takeout container and beverage cup.
After you fill your takeout container and beverage cup, return to the cashier to collect
your ID card. Remember to take plastic utensils with you when you leave.
Takeout is not available once you have eaten your meal inside of dine-in. One box
and one cup is permitted to be taken out for each swipe. You cannot swipe twice on
the same visit.
If you are sick and cannot visit one of our dining locations you can have a friend
do it for you. Get a Sick Tray Form from your RA or RHD. Have the form completed and
give it to a friend along with your ID card. Your friend will then be able to use
your card to pick up a meal for you. Be sure the form is completed with all of the
necessary signatures or your card will be confiscated. This option is only available
for short-term illnesses. If you need this service for a longer period of time, contact
the FSA Services Office at 631-632-6517.
Unlimited meal plans include Guest Passes which can be used to swipe in a friend or
visiting family member. Guest passes may be used at Meal Swipe (Dine-In) Locations
only. Guest passes do not roll over and expire at the end of each semester.
The credit will be posted to your Student Account (able to be viewed in SOLAR under Student Financial Services).
If you are leaving the university and need to cancel your meal plan, you must make
a request in writing to the FSA Services Office at mealplan@stonybrook.edu.
The credit will be posted to your Student Account (able to be viewed in SOLAR under Student Financial Services). Fall credits will not be issued after November
30. Spring credits will not be issued after April 30.
Meal Swipes cannot be added to a meal plan, however, you may use Dining Dollars at
Meal Swipe locations should you run out of swipes, or upgrade to an unlimited meal plan.
If you are a resident student who is concerned about running out of meal swipes, we
recommend upgrading to an unlimited meal plan. You may upgrade at any time during the semester.
Dining Dollars roll over from Summer to Fall, Fall to Winter or Spring, but not to
Summer or the following academic year (Spring to Fall). The last day to use Dining Dollars is Spring Commencement. Remaining balances are
forfeited.
Meal Swipes and Block Meals do NOT rollover from semester to semester.

No. Wolfie Wallet is a campus prepaid declining balance debit account encoded on your
campus ID. It is a safe and convenient way to make food purchases from on and off
campus merchants, make purchases from campus stores and vending machines, mail packages
in the residential mailroom, and utilize print and copy services.
Yes. Send an email to mealplan@stonybrook.edu to request the transfer of Wolfie Wallet funds to dining dollars.

dining dollars!
Sustainability
Waste reduction requires a commitment from both Campus Dining and the students. As
a campus community, we need to raise awareness, improve processes and measure the
impact. It requires a combination of working with suppliers, managing the kitchen
and making appropriate portions available so that less food is discarded. Reducing
food waste with better portion control and improved meal forecasting prevents waste
before it ever happens. This process, source reduction, is cited by the Environmental Protection Agency Food Recovery Hierarchy as the best way to prevent wasted food because these actions create the most benefit
for the environment, society and economy.
