Resident Meal Plans
Binghamton University meal plans provide the ultimate in convenience and flexibility. With your meal plan, you have the freedom to dine anywhere on campus, anytime you want. All students living on campus are required by the University to purchase a Resident Dining meal plan, with the exception of students living in Hillside and Susquehanna communities.
It works just like a debit card. Each time you purchase a meal at one of our dining locations, the amount is deducted from your account balance. Dining Dollars are yours to spend when and where you want.
The cost of your meal plan is made up of two components:

If you have a balance from the previous semester of $100 or more, check out our no-purchase enrollment meal plan options below. If the Commuter Semester or Commuter Annual plan is selected, the Membership Fee will be deducted from the carryover balance. No-purchase enrollments must be done by calling 607-777-6000 or emailing the Meal Plan Office.
If you choose not to enroll in a plan, either through the no-purchase options or by purchasing a new meal plan, your carryover funds will not be available to use.
Faculty / Staff Meal Plans
A Faculty/Staff meal plan offers the simplicity of only carrying your Binghamton University picture ID card for food purchases on campus - no need to worry about having cash in your pocket!
You may enroll at any time, either in person at the Meal Plan Office (located in the Union Undergrounds) or use our easy and convenient online system to open your new Faculty/Staff meal plan account. You can add Dining Dollars any time your balance gets low, either in person, by phone at 607-777-6000, or through our online account access.
Please note that Faculty/Staff members using this plan will be charged 1.8 times the posted price in the Resident Dining Halls.
Department** Accounts:**
Does your department host special events throughout the year? Why not open a Department Account at the same time and charge your special catered events to your account? You’ll get the same 10% bonus that individual accounts receive. The savings, especially for catered events, really add up. We suggest each department account start with $100 which will automatically turn your buying power into $110.
*Note: This dining account works at all dining locations, however, **accounts ***will be charged 1.8 times the posted price in the Resident Dining Halls.
