CAS offers three on-campus unlimited meal plans, one block-style meal plan, and five off-campus meal plans. All students living on campus are required to have a meal plan. Learn more about our meal plan options below.

How to Select The Right Plan For You

On-Campus Unlimited Dining Meal Plans 

Our on-campus unlimited meal plans offer ease and flexibility for every type of student. We offer three unlimited dining plans for on-campus students. On-campus unlimited meal plan participants have limitless access to our three pay-one-price dining locations. The only difference between each plan is the amount of retail dollars participants select. Each unlimited meal plan also comes with six guest passes per semester so that participants can treat a friend, family member, or professor to a meal.

SUNY Geneseo requires all students living on campus to purchase a meal plan. Students may choose from any of the following meal plans. Price listed is per semester.

Unlimited Dining Meal Plans (Unlimited Swipes*)

Plan	Retail Dollars	Total Price
Knight750	$825	$3,415
Knight500	$540	$3,130
Knight250	$250	$2,840

*A swipe is equal to one entry into a pay-one-price location and is good for one hour of service.

KnightBlue, Block-Style Meal Plan

Our on-campus, block-style meal plan allows greater flexibility to the participant when choosing how and where to dine. This plan provides a set number of swipes into our pay-one-price locations with a greater amount of Retail Dollars. Retail Dollars can be used at any of our retail locations along with any on-campus vending machines. The Knight Blue meal plan also comes with three guest passes per semester so that participants can treat a friend, family member, or professor to a meal!

KnightBlue Meal Plan

#Swipes*	Retail Dollars	Total Price
112	1,550	$2,895

*A Swipe is equal to one entry into a pay-on-price location.

Students with a KnightBlue plan who run out of POP swipes have three options:
- Purchase a pack of 10 additional swipes for $100*
- Pay the $12.50 retail dollar price to enter
- Pay with cash/credit

*The swipe purchases are only offered in packs of 10 and leftover swipes will NOT roll to the spring semester. 

Off-Campus Meal Plans

Off-campus students may select from one of five off-campus meal plans or one of the on-campus meal plans. Our off-campus meal plans work as a declining balance, meaning participants can dine at any location, and the value of their selected items will be debited from their retail dollars. Students who have an off-campus meal plan may dine at any of our pay-one-price dining locations but will not be granted unlimited entry. Each entry to a pay-one-price dining location will cost $12.50, which will be deducted from the meal plan upon entry.

Off-campus students may choose from any of the meal plans below or select any of our on-campus meal plans. Price listed is per semester.

Off-Campus Meal Plans

Plan	Total Price
Supreme	$750
Premium	$500
Basic	$375
Express	$250
Trial	$150

 

Unlimited Dining

Unlimited dining offers ease and flexibility for every type of student. This unique structure allows students to visit our pay-one-price dining locations as many times as they please without worrying about budgeting their meal plan throughout the year. Students never have to worry about running out of money each semester. Unlimited dining supports all types of eating habits and dietary restrictions and allows students to sample foods they may not have tried otherwise. Each unlimited dining plan also comes with six guest passes per semester so that you can treat a friend, family, or professor to a meal!

4. Can I bring meals to my friends? 
   NO, each plan is meant for the individual participant's consumption.
    
5. Can I order 10 Smoothies at a time?

   NO, we ask that our silverware please be returned to the dishwasher after use. This also helps reduce our need for plastic utensils.

Retail Dining (Retail Dollars)

Retail dollars can be used at any of our retail locations as well as our vending machines. Our retail dining locations work on a declining balance. Participants can dine at any retail location, and the value of their selected items will be debited from their retail dollars. Students who have an off-campus meal plan may also dine at any of our pay-one-price dining locations but will not be granted unlimited access. Each entry to a pay-one-price location will cost $12.50, which will be deducted from the meal plan upon entry. Students can add additional retail dollars to their meal plan anytime they wish using Manage My ID Card, by contacting our Business Office at 585.245.5648, or visiting our office at Blake-A 108.

Changes to Your Meal Plan

Your meal plan is automatically included on your college tuition bill for all students living on campus. When you receive your bill for the fall semester, new students will automatically be enrolled in the Knight500 plan, and returning students will automatically be enrolled in the Knight250 plan. Students living off-campus who have previously enrolled in a meal plan will see your meal plan automatically added to your tuition bill.

If you wish to upgrade or make a change to your meal plan, please visit the Student Accounts website for instructions, contact the Student Accounts office at 585.245.5621, or visit the Student Accounts office at 103 Erwin Hall. Students wishing to decrease or remove your meal plan may do so within the first two weeks of classes by contacting the CAS Business Office located in Blake-A 108 or calling 585.245.5648.

Meal Plan Rollover

Our meal plans are tax-exempt and therefore bound by specific tax laws. Meal plans are not refundable and are for the immediate personal consumption to whom the meal plan is issued. Retail dollars can only roll over from the fall to spring semester if you have a meal plan again in the spring semester. Meal plans do not roll over from year to year. Any money left on the plan at the end of the school year is forfeited.

Price-Lock Meal Plans

If you are currently enrolled in a price-lock meal plan, CAS will honor this plan for the remainder of your time at SUNY Geneseo. Those who wish to switch to an unlimited dining meal plan may do so without paying the withdrawal fee. If you no longer need or want this plan, you can opt out of the contract for a $199 withdrawal fee.
