Meal Plan Terms and Conditions
SUNY Canton requires all students living on-campus to participate in a meal plan but all students may sign up to enjoy the convenience of dining on campus. All meal plans selected are annual (fall and spring) agreements. Students are billed for a new meal plan each semester.
Meal Plans are loaded onto your Campus ID and work similar to a debit card. Each time you visit Chaney Dining Center the staff will “swipe” your card and meals will be deducted from your plan.
- Meal “Swipes” provide access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining center (Chaney) and refer to the number of meals available with that meal plan in any one week. The meal plan runs from Monday through Sunday. No credit is awarded for “missing swipes” / non-usage off a meal plan.
- Guest passes – Let you bring friends and family to dine with you in Chaney Dining Center. Students with 10, 14, or unlimited meal plans receive 5 guest passes that may redeemed for a guest or as an added meal for yourself. Students who do not intend to use their guest passes may donate them via the Swipe it Forward program.
- Campus Cash – Refers to dining dollars associated with your meal plan that may be used at on-campus retail locations (including the Campus Store). Retail locations sell items a la carte. These locations also accept other forms of payment.
- Your SUNY Canton ID card identifies you as owner of a dining meal plan. It must be presented to the cashier every time you eat a meal. The cards are non-transferable and can only be used by the owner. DO NOT LEND YOUR ID CARD TO ANYONE. If presented by anyone other than the owner, it will be confiscated for your protection.
- Chaney Dining Center is an all you can eat facility with multiple food stations containing a wide variety of products and menu offerings. At this time, meals must be eaten in the dining center and food is not allowed to be taken out of the dining center.
Charges & Plan Balance
- Changes to meal plans must be made by Friday of the first full week of classes.
- Students can check account balances, add funds and manage your card account by using the GET System; which can be accessed online at get.cbord.com or on the mobile app, GET Mobile. It is also used to report your ID card lost or found, make online deposits by debit or credit card and upload or update your ID photo.
- Meal plans are non-transferable and are for the use of the meal plan holder only. Sharing meal plan funds is not permitted. Meal plans are a contract between you and College Association, Inc. Dining Services and are regulated by NYS law. All students who live on campus are required to have a residential meal plan.
- Plan balances (i.e. unused “swipes”) do not “rollover” from one semester to another. The meal plan runs from Monday through Sunday.
