Meal Plan Options for New York City Students

2022-2023 Meal Plans

The meal plans at Pace consist of either a hybrid meal exchange and declining balance dollars plan or declining balance dollars only that can be used at any of the on-campus dining locations. Meal swipes are allocated weekly depending on the meal plan you have selected: 10, 12, 15, or 17 swipes per week. Swipes in these plans expire weekly on Saturday at midnight and replenish automatically on Sundays at 12:01 a.m. Declining balance dollars are posted to the student account at the beginning of each semester and decline as each purchase is made. All dining plans are sales tax free.

All full-time resident and commuter undergraduate students at Pace University are required to have a meal plan. Resident graduate students in Westchester are also required to have a meal plan. The meal plan begins on move-in day each fall and spring and concludes on the last day of scheduled finals. Effective starting the 2021-2022 academic year, all incoming students, regardless of grade level, meal plan dollar (dining and flex) balances will rollover for the current academic year and must be used by end of the Spring semesters. Meal plan balances are non-refundable and unused funds will be forfeited. For students enrolled prior to July 1, 2021, the meal plan balances will continue to roll over until graduating or leaving the university, phasing out with the graduating class of 2024. Meal plan balances are non-refundable and unused funds will be forfeited.

All students are welcome to select from any of the higher optional meal plans.
