1. Am I required to have a meal plan?
Only if you are assigned to a traditional hall (Rubin, Brittany, Goddard or Hayden Halls). Meal Plans are optional for residents living in apartment-style housing.

2. Can I sign up for a meal plan after I arrive?
Yes. You can sign up for a meal plan at any time in the Office of Summer Housing. Please note that you must pay in full for the meal plan at the time you purchase the meal plan. For additional information, click here.

3. Can I cancel my meal plan after I arrive?
Yes. If you are living in apartment-style housing and decide you do not want a meal plan, you may cancel it by submitting a request to the Office of Summer Housing. The cancellation will be effective the first Sunday following the date the request is received. Residents of traditional style housing (Brittany, Rubin, Goddard or Hayden Halls) cannot cancel their meal plan. For additional information, please click here.

4. Can I get a refund for the weeks I didn't use my meal plan?
No. Refunds cannot be made on unused meals. In addition, unused meals do not carry over week to week.

5. What are Dining Dollars?
In addition to a meal allowance, each meal plan comes with a weekly Dining Dollar amount (depending on which meal plan you purchase, you will receive $30, $25 or $20 Dining Dollars per week). This meal plan component works on the same principle as debit cards. The amount of your purchase is subtracted from the balance in your account. You can use your Dining Dollars in all NYU dining locations to purchase beverages, snacks or additional meals. Unlike the weekly meal allowance, unused Dining Dollars do carry over from week to week until your meal plan ends. For more information, please click here.

6. Can I receive a refund for any Dining Dollars that I did not use by the end of my reservation?
No. Unused Dining Dollars are not refundable.
