Plan Options for SUNY Poly Students

Selecting A Meal Plan

The 2021-2022 meal plans are designed to provide maximum flexibility, value and convenience. These meal plans include declining balance funds called Discount Dollars that activate deep discounts at retail dining venues. Students can begin signing up for a meal plan on 7/1/21 and will have until 9/3/21 to add/drop/change their meal plan. Fall meal plans take effect at 4pm on Tuesday, 8/17.

*In light of the hardships imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, UAS is implementing a temporary change to the Discount Dollar policy. Any Discount Dollars remaining at the end of the Spring 2021 term will now roll over to the Fall 2021-Spring 2022 academic year.*

All SUNY Poly students living at UAlbany will be automatically assigned the myFlex #2 Meal Plan. Through the tenth business day of each semester, students may make changes to meal plans based upon the following eligibility rules: 

  • 1st year students are required to be on a meal plan.
  • All other students may choose to change to any meal plan or drop the meal plan.

All meal plans are purchased per semester, and must be verified, changed or dropped every semester online.
