Can I request another room assignment
Once you receive official notification of your housing assignment, you cannot request that it
be changed until the second week of the academic year, at which time you can request a room
change online through the MyHousing software. Once the request is received, your residence
hall director will contact you.
Can I request another roommate
Once two weeks of the academic semester have passed, you can request reassignment to
another room and a different roommate. Your roommate(s) will not be relocated to another
room at your request.
ADELPHI UNIVERSITY • GUIDE FOR RESIDENTIAL STUDENTS
DINING SERVICES AND MEAL PLANS
As a resident, your residence hall is now home, and just like home, the question is “what’s there
to eat” Adelphi offers a variety of food and dining options around campus. Residential students
must purchase a meal plan. Incoming freshmen residents, or any student who moved into a
residence hall after Fall 2010, are required to purchase an all-you-care-to-eat block meal plan.
While the Post Hall dining location offers the all-you-care-to-eat service, residential students
may use panther or bonus dollars at five food locations available to them. Students may also
use meal plan equivalencies at the all dining locations.
Upperclassmen or those who lived in a residence hall prior to Fall 2010 have the option of
three declining balance meal plans.

When do I select my Adelphi University meal plan
You must sign up for your Adelphi University meal plan when you apply for campus housing.
Who is required to purchase an Adelphi University meal plan
All resident students are required to purchase a meal plan. Freshman students may choose the
platinum or gold block meal plan. Sophomores, juniors and seniors also have the option of the
silver block plan. As of January 2011, upperclassmen who previously enrolled may also select
the declining balance plan. An additional option of the silver block meal plan is available to
all new nonfreshman residents, which includes students who previously commuted and now
reside on campus, as well as transfer students new to residential living at Adelphi University.
Graduate residential students may choose one of the three block meal plan options.
Returning students (students who lived in Adelphi housing and had a residential meal plan
in the 2010–2011 academic year) may choose any all-you-care-to-eat block meal plan or the
declining balance option.
Every meal plan, whether the block meal plan or declining balance, is tax free.
Please note, all students are encouraged to use the meal plan calculator to choose the plan that
is best suited to their needs. To access the meal plan calculator, visit
