At Rensselaer we believe that dining on campus plays an important role in fostering a sense of community. Rensselaer Hospitality Services, managed by Sodexo, has developed a dining program that reflects the diversity and spirit of Rensselaer. At the heart of our program is the resident dining halls. Rensselaer offers three locations, each with its own service style and unique atmosphere.

Our program offers unlimited continuous dining. This valuable feature allows participants the ability to dine in any dining hall from the moment it opens in the morning to the moment it closes at night. All three offer a variety of food formats that can be enjoyed whenever your schedule allows.

Value Added Bonus Bucks
Bonus Bucks is another feature adding flexibility to your dining options. Various dollar amounts of Bonus Bucks are incorporated into dining plans. Bonus Bucks is yours to spend like cash at Hospitality Service locations in the Rensselaer Union, retail cafés around campus, concessions, Commons and BARH Marketplace. You can also use your Bonus Bucks to treat your family and friends to a meal in a dining hall, or to enjoy some of our specials like the Student Catering program and cakes or gift sales. As an additional value, Bonus Bucks are tax exempt on all food and drink related purchases. Bonus Bucks are allotted by semester and carry over from fall to spring, but end on the last day of the academic calendar and are non-refundable.

Rensselaer Advantage Dollars (RAD)

Rensselaer Advantage Dollars is a campus declining balance account which saves you the hassle of fumbling for cash or spending time in line when making purchases at ALL Hospitality Services locations and select Rensselaer locations. There are many advantages to purchasing a RAD account such as, balance roll over from year to year, NO annual or set-up fees and auto refill, to mention a few.
