The City College of New York
Commuter & Resident Voluntary Meal Plan
Welcome new freshman, transfer students and residents of The Towers residence hall. As a new first year student and or
resident, we expect you will have questions regarding dining on campus and options offered as residents in The Towers. Rest
assured we have you covered in each of these areas.
Allow us to introduce you to the voluntary CCNY Commuter and Resident Meal Plan which is available to all CCNY students.
The City College of New York partners with Metropolitan Food Service who has served CCNY and other CUNY colleges and
universities for years. We are confident that you will find meals, snacks and beverages to your liking at each of our five campus
dining locations plus our new convenience store, A.K.A. “T-Store” which opened in The Towers resident hall in January 2012.
Our dining locations open as early as 7:00 a.m. while some stay open as late as 8:30 p.m., Monday thru Thursday with Friday and
Saturday hours too. We are confident students and visitors will find abundant varieties of breakfast, lunch and dinner fare at
reasonable prices. We offer a selection of healthy choices including a well-stocked self-serve salad bar, fresh hot entrées, grill
items, sandwiches, Panini’s, Sushi and much more to satisfy most tastes and palates. Our “We Proudly Brew Starbucks” kiosks
provide that in-between or morning pick-me-up for those on the run. Our chefs will work with customers that may have dietary
restrictions, whether gluten-free, food allergies, vegan, vegetarian and more. Just let us know of your need and we will make
every effort to accommodate you.
Meal Plan options using your CityONECard
Through the use of your CCNY CityONECard ID you can set up your declining balance meal plan quickly and easily. Once you have
your CityONECard you may deposit funds onto your Dining Dollars account online at https://citycollegesp.blackboard.com/eaccounts or by visiting the NAC cafeteria cashier stations. Metropolitan Food Service is offering Bonus Bucks
valued at 5% for all deposits of $50 or more. Students also save sales tax with all dining purchases made at any of our campus
dining locations, vending machines and The Towers resident hall convenience store. Bonus + Sales Tax Savings adds nearly 14%
in value. Additional funds may be added throughout the academic year. Dining Dollars expire at the end of the spring term.
The CityONECard “Flex” account is accepted at all dining, vending and bookstore locations on campus at CCNY. Deposit funds into
this account to purchase textbooks, school supplies and CCNY apparel and gifts throughout the year. Make deposits to your Flex
account via the online eAccount option https://citycollege-sp.blackboard.com/eaccounts. Flex dollars never expire.
Our Meal Plan is entirely voluntary with no obligation to join or maintain a balance on your account. We do, however,
recommend the Meal Plan to ensure you have the opportunity to dine on campus or to purchase a meal or two before heading
home or back to your dorm room. For more information on how the new CityONECard works and where and how you can use it,
