Question: Do you serve Kosher and Halal meals?

Answer: Shaw Dining Center provides Kosher and Halal meals to students under the current meal plan. If you are interested in these meals, we encourage you to contact management at Shaw Dining Center for more information.

Answer: Contact our dietitian Ruth Sullivan. Her phone number is: 315-443-9884; email is: resulliv@syr.edu It is best if you contact Ruth before the start of school so she can make arrangements for you with the dining center staff. However, Ruth is always available to help with your nutrition concerns when it comes to our food services department.

Question: How do I put money on my SUpercard FOOD account?

Answer: Based on your meal plan, you already have money added to you SUpercard FOOD account. To add cash value to your account, go to your MySlice account and add it in $25 increments. Remember that your SUpercard FOOD money has to be used up by the end of the spring semester.

Question: Where can I use my SUpercard FOOD account?

Answer: SUpercard FOOD is used for all food purchases above and beyond your meal plan. You many use it at any of the student centers: Schine Dining, Kimmel Food Court, Goldstein Dining; at the Goldstein Alumni and Faculty Center Restaurant, for Campus Delivery, in the vending machines, at Food Works Grocery in Watson and DellPlain Halls, for food at Dome Concessions during SU games, and at any of the campus cafCaféss.

Question: Do I have to eat all my meals at the dining center closest to my residence hall?

Answer: No, you can eat at any of the five dining centers: Brockway, Graham, Haven, Sadler or Shaw, for any meal that you would like. In fact, we encourage you to try all of them. All the dining centers serve the same food; however, they all have their unique personality because of architectural differences of the building and the teamwork of the staff.

Question: What if I have a class during lunch or dinner?

Answer: You can get a meal to go. All you have to do is swipe your meal card and get a take out container. Fill it with your meal and go! For the Eco-friendly we have reusable containers that you can take. Just bring it back next time for a clean one.
