A meal plan is a contract with Dining Services for a particular number of meals each semester at John Jay Dining Hall. Due to a bilateral agreement, meals can also be redeemed at Hewitt Dining Hall.

Unused John Jay meals expire at the end of the semester.

First year meal plan

All first years are required to take out a meal plan. There are 4 options, each of which costs the same but includes a different balance of John Jay Dining Hall meals and Dining Dollars that can be redeemed at other on-campus dining locations.

Most first years are advised to choose one of the 2 options with the least JJ meals and the most points. Those who select an option with a lot of JJ meals rarely end up using all of these. After all, you can only eat 2 meals per day at JJ (brunch and dinner), and you'll often want to eat out, even just using your Dining Dollars at Ferris Booth Commons or Cafe 212.

Upperclassmen meal plan

Sophs, juniors and seniors are also offered meal plans, but these usually only include JJ meals. (Some come with Dining Dollars if you sign up early.)

Most upperclassmen do not sign up for meals at John Jay, since it's significantly cheaper and tastier to eat out, or even better, cook. However, upperclassmen meal plans are popular among student athletes.

Kosher meal plan

A separate and slightly more expensive option.

Halal meal plan

All you have to do is register and get a sticker on your CUID in 118 Hartley Hall.
