2022 - 2023 MEAL PLANS
- New Resident Students
New Students
All new students in their first or second semester at Stony Brook are required to be on the Wolfie Plus or Wolfie Deluxe meal plan.
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.
Need to change your meal plan? Downgrades can be made during the first 2 weeks of the semester. Upgrades can be made anytime throughout the semester. You may request meal plan changes using our online form.

This requirement has been in place for many years and it was established to avoid health and safety issues in the residence halls. If no plan is selected by the start of the semester, the student will be automatically placed on the Wolfie Standard Plan.
