About Your Dining Meal Plan

Residential students are required to participate in a Declining Balance Meal Plan. Our three plans are: Plan A $2500.00 annually, Plan B $2240.00 annually, or Plan C $2000.00 annually. Each student receives an initial balance for the plan chosen.  All points ($) may be used at the all campus dining venues.  These include Café on the Common @ 150 Tremont, Café Three @ Miller Hall, Suffolk Café @ the Donahue building - 41 Temple St., Sawyer Café in the Sawyer building and Freshens Smoothies at 150 Tremont Street. 

Your Suffolk ID is your meal card. Use it for all dining service transactions. All balances will be carried over to the Spring semester. Balances remaining at the conclusion of the Spring semester are forfeited. Students not participating in a meal plan for the Spring semester will forfeit all remaining Fall funds at the completion of the Fall semester.

You will be invoiced for Plan B $2240.00 annually. If you find that this plan is too little or too much to meet your needs you may change it during the first three weeks of either semester. You simply go to the Residential Life Office located on the first floor of 150 Tremont St. and request a change. Your next statement from Suffolk University will reflect the meal plan change.

Commuter Plan
This plan, named “The Ram Plan”, is a declining balance account. It frees you from having to carry cash for your dining needs. Your account is accessed by using your Suffolk ID. You may open your Ram account at any dining services location. You can add to your Ram account at any time. Funds will be added within two (2) business days after deposit. Questions  regarding your RAM account should be directed to the Suffolk University Campus Card office at 617.573.8499. You may open your account with cash, a check, or by using a Visa, MC, or Amex credit card. Ram Plan accounts are perpetual accounts that remain active as long as you are an active member of the Suffolk community. The Ram Plan is open to all Suffolk University students, faculty and staff. All balances will be forfeited if account remains dormant for two (2) years.

Credit Card Purchases 
All campus dining locations now accept VISA, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit cards.  This includes the Donahue Cafe, Sawyer Cafe and the Freshens / Convenience Store at 150 Tremont Street.

Using Your I.D.
As part of our Campus Dining Services program, you will be equipped with your Suffolk University I.D. that offers purchasing power for our services. Each time you make a purchase at the register, present your I.D. to the cashier. Food items are individually priced. The amount of your purchase will be deducted from your account. Please feel free to inquire about your current account balance at any time. It is important that you monitor your balance to ensure that you are properly budgeting your account during the semester. In addition, our staff will be monitoring each account and notifying you if your balance is getting low. If you feel there is a discrepancy in your account or your I.D. is not working properly you may inquire about the status of your account at the Switchboard Office located on the first floor of the Sawyer building. Your I.D. and meal plan points are not transferable. You must present your I.D. for every purchase.

Lost I.D. Information
Lost your I.D.? In case of a missing I.D. it is important that you immediately obtain a new I.D. from the Suffolk University Police Office located in the Sawyer Building lobby. Your new (most recent) ID is the only card that will be accepted in dining service locations.  If you find your previous ID you should destroy it.
