    Requirements for Resident Students

    All undergraduate students who reside in the residence halls and who are in their first or second semester of enrollment at Stony Brook are required to enroll in a resident meal plan, regardless of the residence hall in which they reside. Resident students, who live in a residence hall or area designated as non-cooking, must enroll in a resident meal plan regardless of class year or tenure at Stony Brook.

    Waivers and Medical Exemptions

    Meal plan enrollment may be waived on a religious or medical basis only. Request for a waiver must be made in writing to the Campus Dining Registered Dietitian. This must be done prior to, or within two weeks of, moving on campus. Those residents who obtain a meal plan waiver will be required to reside in or relocate to a resident hall/area designated as cooking. A pro-rated weekly charge for a meal plan will result until the waiver is obtained.

    If you are a Jewish student or someone who keeps kosher who wants access to Delancey Street please reach out to Jessica Lemons, Executive Director of Stony Brook Hillel at jessica.lemons@stonybrook.edu

    If you have special dietary needs based on allergies or other medical conditions it is important for you to set up a virtual appointment with our Campus Dining Dietitian. We will evaluate your needs and dietary restrictions to determine whether or not Campus Dining is able to meet your needs. To make an appointment visit the campus dining website.

    Please contact Student Accessibility Support Center for meal plan accommodations. SASC will work collaboratively with the on campus dietitian regarding any dietary concerns. In order to meet your needs it would be best if documentation is submitted by the following dates:

    Upgrades, Downgrades and Cancellations

    Meal Plan funds are non-refundable. Downgrade requests may be submitted up to and including the first 2 weeks of the semester. Please note, during the first 2 weeks of the semester, downgrade requests made Saturday through Thursday will take effect the following Friday.

    If you would like to change your meal plan, you can easily change it on the website prior to arrival to campus. If you request a change after the start of classes, meal plan changes will take effect on the Friday of the request week. Students will be charged for their current meal plan until the meal plan change goes into effect. Once the meal plan is changed, the amount billed to the student account is prorated for the current plan and the remaining weeks on the new plan. Meal plans may not be canceled after May 1.

    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.
