Q: Which company manages the Dining Services?

A: Sodexo Campus Services. Sodexo is the leading provider of Food and Facilities management in North America and has provided SUNYIT College with excellent services since 1996. Check out more about Sodexo at SodexoUSA.com.

 

Q: Are you able to accommodate my special dietary needs?

A: Absolutely. Sodexo Campus Services has a wide range of resources to accommodate special dietary needs. We also have a Registered Dietitian on campus to assist students with meal planning and special dietary issues. Please stop by the Dining Hall or email at dietician@sunyit.edu.

 

Q: What meal plans are offered at SUNYIT?

A: All students that live in the Residence Halls are required to be on a meal plan. There are 4 meal plans (2 weekly and 2 block) to choose from. Our current plan options may be viewed on the Meal Plans page.

 

Q: What are Points?

A: These funds may be used to make purchases at the ‘Cats’ Den, Café Kunsela, and Basement Bistro in Donovan Hall. Points can also be used to purchase meals for family & friends at the Campus Center Dining Hall. Points are carried over from the fall to spring semester; however, unused points are forfeited at the end of the spring semester. All of the above meal plans and points are nontransferable and nonrefundable.

 

Q: When is the Dining Hall open?

A: The dining hall is open seven days a week during the academic year. Check out the Locations & Menus page to view our current hours of operation.

There are 19 meal periods during each week:
Weekday: 3 meal periods (breakfast, lunch and dinner) x 5 days = 15
Weekend: 2 meal periods (brunch and dinner) x 2 days = 4
Total: Weekdays (15) + Weekends (4) = 19

 

Q: What plan is the best for me?

A: It depends on your eating habits. Choosing the 19 weekly meal plan is the most cost effective because it offers access to the dining hall for every primary meal time. The block plans have less meals per week on average (125 meals divided by 15 weeks per semester = about 8 meals per week); yet, allow for flexibility with more points.

Q: If the dining hall is closed, do I get credit for my meals?

A: If there is an official closing of the Dining Hall for any reason, the college will offer an alternate meal site.

 

Q: Can I change my meal plan and if so, where do I go?

A: You can change your plan during the first week of classes. The changes can be made at the College Association Office in Kunsela Hall, room C104.

 

Q: If I run out of meals or points, is it better to pay cash at the door or add money to my card?

A: It’s better to add points than pay with cash. Points can be added for as little as $25 at any food service register or at the food service office in the Campus Center. Amounts over $100 receive a 2% enhancement. Also, by using points as part of the meal plan, purchases are exempt from sales tax.

 

Q: How can I enter the dining hall or use my points?

A: Your campus identification card serves as your dining services access card. The magnetic strip on the back of the ID contains information about your food service account. Your card is swiped every time you enter the dining hall. Repeat entry feature allows reentry into the dining hall during the same meal period without deduction of another meal. Your ID card is required to enter the dining hall; remember to bring it with you.

 

Q: If I have to miss a meal due to illness or a class conflict, what can I do?

A: If you are ill and have to miss a meal, a special “sick tray” can be arranged with authorization from Health Center or Residence Hall staff. Box meals are provided for class conflicts. At the beginning of the semester, bring your class schedule to the food service office to make arrangements.

 

Q: Where can I get more information on meal plans?

A: More information is available in the student handbook. However, please don’t hesitate to visit the Food service office, Campus Center, 1st Floor or call 315.792.7224, or email them at phil.sweeney1@sunyit.edu. You can also contact the College Association Office, Kunsela Hall, C104 at 315.792.7341 or ca@sunyit.edu.
