All dining plans at SUNY Cortland are adapted to a points system . Points, instead of dollars, are the exchange currency used for all dining transactions.
Pricing is expressed in dollars for cash customers and in points for all meal plan customers.
Cortland students, on an average, spend about 7.00 to 9.00 points a day. Points are not subject to New York State sales tax. Actually we advise the Flexplan Plus for most first semester Freshman to give them a little extra cushion until they are very familiar with all the ins and outs of the meal plan. Since the Holding Account is refundable, any unused money can be rolled over to the next semester, or refunded. You will have had a chance to explore many of the dining facilities and you will notice the meal deals and other specials offered in in all of the dining locations.
