SUSTAINABLE DINING PRACTICES

OUR SUSTAINABLE EFFORTS INCLUDE:

Your voice counts! NYU Dining is enhanced and shaped by the

suggestions and input from our students. We understand students

have unique needs and want to provide the types of services that

work best with their lifestyles.

Once a semester, we conduct our DiningStyles online survey for all

meal plan members and non-members to participate in. This survey

lets our customers evaluate us on a variety of criteria including, but

not limited to: price, service, food quality, and food variety. As a

thank you for taking the survey, participants will be entered into a

drawing and have a chance to win some great prizes.

Participation is easy! It does not require much time and will

contribute to the NYU community.

As a member of the Dining Advisory Committee, you will review

our program and protocol. You will also provide valuable feedback

about customer service, speed of service, food quality, cleanliness,

merchandising, and overall impression. All of our meetings will

take place at one of the dining halls.

For more information about becoming a member, contact dining.

services@nyu.edu. Please include Dining Advisory Committee in

the subject line of the email.

1. How does the meal plan work?

Eating on-campus is easy with an NYU Dining Meal Plan. We have 16 dining locations across campus that conveniently offers a variety of foods and delicious dining options. With a meal plan, you've got food covered, so it’s one less thing you have to worry about. Once you have a meal plan, your student ID works like a debit card. Simply swipe your card and the meal, meal exchange or dining dollars are deducted from your account automatically. There are three components to our meal plans: Meal Allowance, Meal Exchange, and Dining Dollars.

Meal Allowance: Meal Allowance is the number of meals that can be used in all-you-care-to-eat dining locations: Weinstein, 3rd North and Lipton Hall. The cashier will deduct one meal from your plan upon entering these locations. Once inside, you are free to eat as much as you would like. If you choose to not eat in the dining hall, you can also take your Meal 2 Go, by just informing the cashier when you enter the location.

Meal Exchange: This feature allows you to exchange one meal allowance swipe for a combo meal at our retail food courts: Kimmel MarketPlace, Weinstein Food Court, U-Hall Commons Café, Dunkin’ Donuts, Peet's Coffee and Tea, and Jasper Kane Cafe. Dining Dollars:

Dining Dollars are accepted at all dining locations and work like a debit card; each time you make a purchase the total is subtracted from the balance in your account. Each Dining Dollar is equivalent to one U.S. Dollar.

FREQUENTLY ASKEDQUESTIONS

2. Am I required to have a Meal Plan?

Yes, New York University requires all first year students living in NYU housing to participate in the NYU Dining meal plan program.

3. How am I charged for my Meal Plan?

All Dining Charges appear on the students Bursar account in 24-48 hours after a purchase has been made.

When a student signs up after the beginning of a semester, the plan and charges are prorated for the remainder of that semester. Charges and refunds for all meal plans (flex plans and Dining Dollars included) are calculated on a daily basis. Charges begin on the activation date, not when the students begin using their plan.

4. Can I change or cancel my meal plan?

Meal plan changes and cancellations may only be made via mealplans.nyu.edu prior to the Fall and Spring deadlines as shown on the calendar.

5. What happens if I do not use all of my Meal Swipes or Dining Dollars?

Any unused meals expire at the end of each semester at 4pm. For active meal plan members, unused Dining Dollars carry over from fall to spring semester but expire at the end of the spring semester. The meal plan participant must maintain an active meal plan in the spring semester in order to receive the fall dining dollars.

6. What is the difference between Dining Dollars and Campus Cash? Dining Dollars can be used only for purchases in NYU Dining Halls. Campus Cash can be used at a variety of locations, including the bookstore, laundry services, as well as all NYU Dining locations.

7. What’s being served right now? Can I check the menu? Our menus are available online at nyu. campusdish.com and through the NYU Mobile app.

9. What if I have a severe medical condition or disability and can't use the meal plan?

If you believe you have a medical condition or disability that warrants an exception to the mandatory meal plan policy, you must submit a special accommodations form with supporting documentation to the Moses Center for Students with Disabilities. For forms and additional information go to www.nyu.edu/csd/.

10. If I have a severe food allergy, what are my options?

NYU Dining Services offers a variety of meal plans and dining options. We work diligently with students who have food allergies to develop a dining plan that accommodates their needs and provide menus with a variety of food selections.

Please note that there are limitations to the type of accommodations that NYU Dining Services can provide and strict avoidance may be the only solution to safeguard against food allergens.
