What is a Meal Plan?
Meal Swipes
Meal Swipes give you access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining hall, POP’s. Simply swipe your ID card at the entrance and enjoy a wide variety of options, whether it’s a piece of fruit and a coffee or a full 3-course meal.
Our All Access meal plan offers unlimited access to Pop’s- come in as many times as you like, whenever it is open. Upgrade to the All Access VIP and get 4 weekly meal exchanges that can be used at the Campus Center Market for a full, to-go meal, as well as $50 extra declining balance.
Declining Balance (DB)
Declining Balance may be used at any on-campus Farmingdale State College Hospitality location. Visit our locations page for location information, including dining hall menus and hours of operation. DB rolls over from the fall to spring semester but expires at the end of the spring semester.

With your meal plan, you receive many benefits and perks, including:
- Quality food made fresh by our culinary team, with a variety of menu options personalized the way you like
