How to Change a Dining Dollars Contract

You may change your dining dollars contract by logging in to the Hofstra portal at my.hofstra.edu and accessing the Dining Dollars Contract Change form. Any refunded amount, if applicable, will be credited to your student account. The dining dollars contract you choose for the fall semester will be automatically billed to your student account for the spring semester in late fall. Students are held accountable for the dining dollars contract they select online by the use of their electronic signature. Kindly review the terms of the dining dollars contract for deadlines associated with changing your contract plan. If you have any questions about changing your dining dollars contract, you may contact the Office of Residence Life at reslife@hofstra.edu.

Dining Dollars Reduction Request

You can make changes to your dining dollars prior to the deadline on the contract, generally approximately two weeks after the start of the semester. Complete the form found here on the dining forms web page and submit it to ResLife@hofstra.edu. Please note: if you lower your dining plan for the spring semester, you will forfeit any unused dining dollars from the fall semester.

Prior to requesting a reduced dining dollars contract (lower than the class standing requirement) due to severe food allergies and/or dietary needs, students must meet one-on-one with the dining staff. The dining staff is committed to meeting with students who have individual dining needs to ensure that all meals are balanced, nutritious, and healthy. If you have a food allergy and/or special dietary concern, please contact our on-campus dietitian, Simone Gmuca, RDN, CDN, CPT, who will review food options to provide a well-balanced and healthy dining experience. Simone can be reached at Simone.Gmuca@compass-usa.com. Read more about Simone and her credentials at hofstra.edu/dietitian.

Students with allergies or dietary restrictions must meet with the on-campus nutritionist, who can assist in identifying appropriate dining areas on campus to purchase meals. A student with a disability related to dietary restrictions may request a reasonable accommodation for dietary modification through Student Access Services by submitting a Request for Reasonable Accommodations Form with the appropriate supporting documentation. The Request Form and Guidelines for Documentation can be found at www.hofstra.edu/sas.
