Meal plan
BAP students will be automatically enrolled in Meal Plan "Eā at Binghamton University. Students can, however, change their meal plan anytime during the first two weeks of Binghamton University's semester by going to my.binghamton.edu or by contacting Dining Services. Note: This meal plan will only work at Binghamton University.
Due to the nature of course schedules, some students choose to eat additional meals at SUNY Broome. Broome offers several dining options for BAP students to choose from. The most popular is the Flex Dollar option. Note: The meal plan purchased at Binghamton University will not work at SUNY Broome.
During Binghamton University breaks, food service, although scaled back in offerings and hours of operation, remains in service to meet the needs of BAP, international students and athletes who typically remain on campus during breaks.
