Ithaca College Dining Plans

First-year students & undergraduates living in an on-campus residence hall must select from The Residence Plans, and students living in on or off-campus apartments have the option of The Local Plan. Either way, we have a dining package that fits every student's active life at Ithaca College. Meal swipe options campus-wide give our students flexibility, convenience, and more robust dining opportunities.
