Syracuse University and SUNY-ESF students can make their meal plan selections for the 2026-27 academic year now via MySlice. Students wishing to enroll in a meal plan are encouraged to do so as soon as possible and before the start of the semester to ensure they are prepared for the start of the semester in August!
Students can purchase a meal plan via their self-service portal in MySlice. Minimum meal plan requirements are determined by class level and housing location.
Syracuse students living in South Campus apartments or in off-campus locations are not required to have a meal plan, but are welcome to purchase any of the meal plans that the University offers, including one of the three Dining Dollars-only plans.
First-year SUNY-ESF students living in Centennial Hall may select any of the available meal plans, but are required to have a minimum of 85 meals per semester (the Block 85 Plan), along with a minimum of $500 of ‘Cuse Cash. More information for ESF students is available here.
