Meal Plan Requirements

Dining Services is committed to providing a well-balanced, delicious and nutritious dining service program on campus. There are a wide variety of food items from which to create a meal that satisfies your tastes, dietary needs and preferences. Food options typically available, in addition to the traditional cafeteria line, include a pizza station & grill, salad bar, vegetarian and vegan options, and a kosher dining plan.

Meal Plan Requirements

All First-Year students living in campus housing are required to enroll in the Platinum Meal Plan.

Upperclass students (including transfer & visiting students) living in floors 2-8 of the Quad (Hewitt, Sulzberger, Reid, or Brooks) or in Andersen Hall are required to enroll, at minimum, in the Quad Upperclass Meal Plan (but can upgrade to the Platinum Meal Plan if they wish).

Upperclass students living in other campus residence halls will be automatically enrolled in the Flex 100 Meal Plan, but may opt into a different meal plan of their choice (minimum of Convenience 400 Points Plan is required).

Students may enroll in a different meal plan, within the requirements listed above, at https://my.barnard.edu/Finances and then click "Meal Plan" on the right-hand menu. Changes to meal plan selections may not be submitted after the fourth day of each semester.

There are no exemptions to the College's policy requiring participation in a required meal plan.
