About Your Dining Meal Plan

Residential Plans

Residential students are required to participate in a declining balance Meal Plan. Our three plans are: Plan A, $2612.00 annually; Plan B, $2340.00 annually; and Plan C, $2090.00 annually.  Each student receives an initial balance for the plan chosen.  All food points ($) 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. Balances will carry over from Fall to Spring semester.  Balances remaining at the conclusion of the Spring semester are forfeited.

You will be invoiced for Plan B, $2340.00 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 central office, located at 73 Tremont St., and complete a meal plan change form. Your next statement from Suffolk University will reflect the meal plan change.

If you find that your meal plan funds are going to run out, supplement your Meal Plan with your Ram Account.  Your Ram Account is also a declining balance account linked to your Suffolk ID.  To use your Ram Account, simply add funds and use it top pay at all dining service locations, at participating off-campus locations, and for residence hall laundry.  To add funds, simply go to any Dining Services location or call 617-305-2511.  Starting in Fall 08, you will be able to add funds to your Ram Account at suffolk.managemyid.com .

Commuter Plan


The Ram Account is a declining balance account linked to your Suffolk ID.  It can be used as a Commuter meal plan, and it is open to all Suffolk University students, faculty, and staff.  The Ram Account frees you from having to carry cash for your dining needs.  Everyone with a Suffolk ID is set up for a Ram Account.  To use your Ram Account, simply add funds and use it to pay at all dining service locations, at participating off-campus locations, and for residence hall laundry.  To add funds, simply go to any Dining Services location or call 617-305-2511.  You can pay using Visa, MaterCard, Amex, check payable to Suffolk University, or cash.  Starting in Fall 08, you will be able to add funds to your Ram Account at suffolk.managemyid.com. You can add funds to your Ram account at any time. Funds added through Dining Services will be added to your account within two (2) business days of deposit.   Your Ram Account will remain active as long as you are an active member of the Suffolk community.  Upon graduation or leaving Suffolk University, remaining Ram Account funds will be forfeited.

Please direct questions regarding your Ram Account to the Suffolk University Campus Card Office at ramcard@suffolk.edu or 617-305-1747. To add money to your account, please visit suffolk.managemyid.com

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 ID
As part of our Campus Dining Services program, you will be equipped with your Suffolk University ID that offers purchasing power for our services. Each time you make a purchase at the register, present your ID 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 ID is not working properly, you may inquire about the status of your account at the Campus Card Office located in Sawyer 107.  Your ID and meal plan points are non transferable. You must present your ID for every purchase.
