Dining Options at Suffolk

Campus

Suffolk County Community College and Aramark Higher Education are partners in creating and providing students and visitors to the College with an enjoyable dining experience.

Aramark has a long record of successfully serving more than 600 colleges and universities throughout North America. Together, we have enhanced the campus dining environments through changes such as:

- Bringing in a mix of national and proprietary restaurant brands
- Providing knowledgeable chefs, fresh food, healthier and vegan options
- Improving dining spaces and value

The College implements a $100 meal plan charge per semester for students taking nine credits or more on the Ammerman and Michael J. Grant campuses. (NOTE: online and off-campus courses do not count toward the nine+ credit total). Meal plan funds are then made available to students who want to purchase food or drinks in any of the campus dining locations and through campus vending machines. Purchases made through the meal plan are tax-free, creating significant dining value.

Please review the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) section of this site for more specifics about the College's dining plan.

New Dining Services FAQs

Access to the dining plan is through your student ID card; simply swipe your card at any vending machine or café location on campus and funds will automatically be deducted from your meal plan account—just like a debit card. Student ID cards can be obtained at any campus Public Safety office, in addition to the Campus Activities or Registrar's offices on the Ammerman Campus.

The student ID card enables students to access meal plan funds. With the exception of credits related to off-campus clinicals, off-campus credit-bearing courses, and fully online courses, all Suffolk students who are enrolled in nine or more on-campus credits on the Ammerman or Michael J. Grant campuses will receive a $100 meal plan charge each semester as a part of their student bill. Students will then be able to access their $100 meal plan balance by swiping their student ID card at any dining location on the Ammerman and Michael J. Grant campuses and in all food and beverage vending machines on all campuses – Ammerman, Michael J. Grant and Eastern.
A meal plan is the best way to eat on campus- here's the top reasons why:

  1. Convenience: Meal plan participants enjoy access to express-lane check-out in the campus cafeteria locations. With several great dining locations, students are never far away from a great meal. In addition, our locations are time-saving stops in between classes, so you won't have to give up that great parking spot.
  2. Ease: Since you access the plan with your student ID card, you always have access to your meal plan funds. No need to worry about going to an ATM or using a credit card.
  3. Quality and freshness: Don't worry about packing a lunch or storing food in your car. The dining locations have food that is always fresh and safe.
  4. Save your gas money for something else: Don't waste it to get food off campus.
  5. Students save on sales tax: Make purchases using meal plan funds and avoid paying sales tax, as opposed to purchases made with cash, debit or credit cards.

Please note that you will not be able to share student ID cards to make meal purchases. Dining area cashiers will check each student ID before swiping the card at the register, to ensure that the person making the purchase is the individual who holds the meal plan. Transactions will only be completed if the picture on the card matches the person making the purchase. Once you make your purchase, you are free to share your meal with whomever you wish.
The College's meal plan is structured to be active on the first day of the semester following a student's registration, remaining active through the academic year until the day before the start of the Summer I term.
A new meal plan can be activated for the summer beginning the first day of Summer Session I. Completing this activation for the summer is only one of the many convenient applications students can take advantage of through the Campus Dish website(www.sccc.campusdish.com). This website should be considered as your number one resource for information about everything related to the dining options offered at Suffolk County Community College.
Any meal plan money that is not spent by the end of the fall semester will be available for use in the spring semester—as long as you are registered for the spring semester. Any meal plan funds not spent by the day before the start of the Summer I term, will be forfeited.
Yes. Students are encouraged to monitor their spending habits and utilize meal plan funds throughout the semester. If the remaining balance on your meal plan is substantial toward the end of the spring semester, Aramark offers items for bulk purchase at its dining locations. Bulk purchase promotions will be announced on the Campus Dish website.
Yes, any Suffolk student can take advantage of meal plan benefits by activating a meal plan account. Simply visit the Campus Dish website (www.sccc.campusdish.com) to create an account using your sunysuffolk.edu email address, link it to your student ID card, and pay for your plan by using a major credit card. Food purchases made with a meal plan are cheaper than purchases made in the dining area using cash or credit, as sales tax does not apply to meal plan purchases. This is almost equal to receiving a 9% discount each time you use the meal plan to make a purchase. In addition, on the second $100 added to any meal plan account, Aramark offers a 5% bonus. So, students who add a second $100 to their meal plan balance will actually receive $105 to spend. It is important to note that there is a lag between when funds are deposited and when they become available for use; please allow 24 to 48 hours for funds to appear on your account.
Yes, any student – whether on the automatic $100 base meal plan or not – may add funds to their account at any time by logging into their food service account on the Campus Dish website (www.sccc.campusdish.com).

Food purchases made with a meal plan are cheaper than purchases made in the dining area using cash or credit, as sales tax does not apply to meal plan purchases.

It is important to note that there is a lag between when funds are deposited and when they become available for use; please allow 24 to 48 hours for funds to appear on your account. When adding funds to an existing meal plan account, there is a minimum incremental purchase of $25. For every dollar that you add to your account over the initial $100 meal plan charge, Aramark will add a 5% bonus.
Certain forms of financial aid (such as Pell grant funds and select student scholarships offered through the College's Foundation) can be used to fund the $100 base meal plan. If your financial aid is in place, and you have confirmed your attendance, agreed to have financial aid cover this cost, and/or paid the balance due after your aid has been credited, then the $100 credit will be added to your meal plan account. Any unused funds will be handled in accordance with Title IV regulations.
Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to Public Safety and to the Campus Dish website (www.sccc.campusdish.com), so that the dining account can be suspended until a new card can be issued. Here are the steps that need to be taken in order to replace a lost or stolen card:

- Suspend your card on the Campus Dish website
- Go to the campus cashier's office and pay the required $12 fee to replace a lost or stolen student ID card
- Bring your receipt indicating payment of the fee to the local Public Safety Office, where they will provide a new ID card to the student
- Once a new student ID card is issued, return to the Campus Dish website to activate the new card prior to using it.

College ID stations can be found at any campus Public Safety office or at the Campus Activities or Registrar's offices on the Ammerman Campus. Please note, that no student ID cards can be replaced after 5 p.m. on weekdays, or at any time on a weekend.
Visit the Campus Dish website (www.sccc.campusdish.com), to create an account. After you create your account, make sure to link it to your student ID card and complete the activation steps. Once you do, you can review account and balance information and add funds to your account.
Although Aramark offers a wide variety of meal options, in those rare and limited circumstances that may warrant review, the first step is to submit the meal plan waiver request form.
Yes, a free mobile app is available for download that enables students to easily check their balance and account status. The app can also be substituted for the College ID as a form of payment at the food service registers. However, it cannot be used in the vending machines.
Yes, menus and nutritional information can be accessed at any time through the Campus Dish website.
If for some reason your ID card does not work at the register, speak to a dining manager who will investigate the reason. In most cases, delays are related to funds not yet being added to the card balance. If there are any issues with the card itself, such as a problem with the magnetic strip, the manager will be able to tell you.
Aramark dining services are not yet available on the Eastern Campus, however, food and drink vending machines are available. Eastern Campus students can establish a meal plan for use in the vending machines or at the dining locations on the Michael J. Grant or Ammerman campuses by visiting the Campus Dish website (www.sccc.campusdish.com) and creating an account with a major credit card.
