Participation in a meal plan is mandatory for all residents in the Residence Halls, the Towers at Centennial Square, and the STTC. These students must purchase at least 10 meals a week. Residents of the Village at Centennial Square and UPS can purchase a meal plan by contacting the office of Residential Dining Services. Visit http://www.dineoncampus.com/sfsu/ for more information.
Residence Halls, STTC, Towers at Centennial Square, and the Business Matters Learning Community of Building C.
All students living in Mary Park and Mary Ward Halls, STTC, the Towers, and the Business Matters Learning Community in Building C of Village at Centennial Square contractually choose the "19 Plus", the "Any 15 Plus" " or the "Any 10 Plus" meal plan. Each meal plan includes $100 in "Gator Dollars" for all meal plans originating during Fall Semester and $50 in "Gator Dollars" for plans originating only for Spring Semester. Residents selecting the "19 Plus" meal plan may enjoy each of the 19 meals offered each week.

Village at Centennial Square and UPS
Students living in the Village at Centennial Square Building A and B and UPS are not required to purchase a meal plan. However, meal plans are available if desired. Any of the previously mentioned meal plans, as well as "Any 8" or "Any 5" can be purchased by contacting the office of Residential Dining Services (415-338-2923) or visit http://www.dineoncampus.com/sfsu/
Meal Plan Change
Requests to reduce to a lower meal plan may only be made until (date to be announced) in fall semester, and (date to be announced) in Spring Semester. Requests to increase your meal plan may be made at any time during the academic year.
In order to request a change of meal plan, the Licensee must sign a "Change of Meal Plan Request Form" at the University Housing Business Office before the indicated deadlines. A copy of the signed change form must be presented to the dining center to effect the change.
Gator Dollars
Gator Dollars work just like cash at residential dining facilities and in the residential vending machines. You can use them to buy additional meals or to invite guests. How you use your gator dollars is up to you. Additional Gator Dollars may be purchased immediately or throughout the year at the Dining Center Office.
Your University Card/ Residential Dining Card
Your University ID Card also serves as your meal card. Because it is so valuable, we cannot allow it to be transferred, nor can we authorize another person to use your card. Your meal card is also your Residence ID card and must be shown to any University staff member upon request. Please carry your Residence ID with you at all times.
If your card is lost, stolen, or damaged for any reason, you will be required to request a new card from the One Card Office in the Student Services Building.
Special Diets
In our continuing effort to meet residents' needs, we give special consideration to students who have medical or religious dietary concerns. Contact the Dining Services Director for assistance at 415-338-2767 or the Executive Chef at 415-338-2849.
If You Aren't Feeling Well, and You're Hungry...
Arrange for a friend to pick up your food for you. Please contact your RA and have them call the Residential Dining Center Office to authorize letting someone else pick up a meal for you. Then, have a friend bring your meal card to the Dining Center and the staff will let them bring a meal back to you. We will call back to your published telephone extension to verify your request.
Our Special Functions
Seven Hills Catering can provide you with specialty-catered items such as birthday cakes and party trays. Catering also has a No Frills Catering Menu with specially priced options.
In a Rush?
Or maybe you just want a night in without having to go down and get food. Try one of the Dining Center's Grab-and-Go meals. Simply swipe your card, grab a meal, and you are good to go. Each meal swipe* entitles you to one microwaveable entrée (which includes a side and dessert), your choice of salad or fruit salad, and a drink*. Come to the Dining Center to check out our rotating selection.
*Only one outtake per meal period.
*Drinks only include those inside the outtake fridge.
Sack Meals
Sack meals are available daily when classes are in session to accommodate your special request to fit meals to your class or work schedule. Sack Meal Request Forms are available at the Dining Center Office. We will have your sack meal prepared and waiting for you at the time you want it. You simply swipe your meal card and go!
