Meal Plans

https://www.morrisville.edu/costs-aid/meal-plans

You can choose from several meal plans at SUNY Morrisville. If you live on campus, you’ll be required to purchase a meal plan that can be used at all campus dining facilities.

Your meal plan purchase includes a number of meals per week, up to 14, and a Dining Points amount, which is a declining-balance account used for additional food purchases at campus dining locations and at the Copper Turret Restaurant. Meal plans and Dining Points are non-taxable, non-refundable, and can be used only while classes are in session.

The minimum meal plan requirement for Commons residents is the Commons Combo.

Campus Cash, formerly known as Mustang Money, is a declining balance account securely encoded on your ID that can be used for purchases at MAC locations including Campus Stores, vending machines, dining centers and participating off-campus locations. Once funds are added, simply present your ID at any participating location and your account will automatically be debited for the purchase amount. Since your balance is printed on your receipt after each transaction, you will always know how much money remains in your account. No more worrying about loss or theft by carrying cash or credit cards! There are no fees associated with Campus Cash*. Refunds can be requested at the end of the academic year in the Spring or when you separate from campus (i.e. withdrawing from school, transferring to another school, etc.). Purchases are taxable. Campus Cash may not be used for cash advances.

Scholarships & Awards

https://www.morrisville.edu/scholarships

Scholarships are generated from a variety of sources including from alumni, friends of the college, local foundations, and industry partners.

By filling out one application, students will be considered for all Foundation scholarships unless a supplemental application is specifically required.

Scholarships are separate from financial aid programs, like TAP and work-study, which a student must apply for separately on an annual basis. Scholarship applications are due each year on March 1 and awards are announced by April 1. If awarded a scholarship from SUNY Morrisville, it will automatically be applied to the student’s account. Scholarships are awarded based on a multitude of factors, including academic excellence, major/study, geography, and personal achievements. Because scholarships are privately funded, student recipients are required to write a note of thanks to their individual donor.

Student Refunds

In cases where a student’s bill is paid entirely, and there is a remaining credit on the student’s account, a refund is issued and mailed home to the address of record.  SUNY Morrisville does offer students the option to set up direct deposit to have these refunds issued directly to their bank accounts.

To sign up for direct deposit:

  • Sign into Web for Students
  • Go to Student Information & Financial Aid.
  • View the student’s account.

At the bottom of the student’s account page, click the blue button for “E-Billing & Payments”, this will redirect your to our billing and payment system.

Select “Manage refunds” and follow the prompts.

Direct deposit of refunds will hit student’s bank accounts within 2-3 business days from the date the refund was processed.
