Plan Options for SUNY Poly Students

Selecting A Meal Plan

The 2020-2021 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 in resident dining rooms (i.e., all-you-care-to-eat) and at retail dining venues. 

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, but may change to the myFlex #1 or either myUnlimited 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.
