Gulski Faculty and Staff Dining Room
Bryant takes great pride in our residential community and in providing a full array of dining options for sustained physical health and the opportunity to share a meal with peers and other University members. Meal plans are required of all resident students living in all areas of the campus except the Townhouses, which provide cooking facilities.
We see this requirement as meeting our commitment to students and their families that we will serve the “whole student” intellectually, emotionally, and physically. AVI Fresh is a valued partner with Bryant University in ensuring we address the dietary needs of all resident students. Additionally, this requirement is based on economic practicality. Allowing the University to provide a full dining plan with multiple locations in a cost-effective way requires full community participation.
Please read our Meal Plan Policies carefully and fully as you make your selection for the coming semester.
Meal Plan Enrollment takes place during the housing selection process managed by Residential Life. If a meal plan selection is not made during the housing selection process, and the student lives in an area where meal plans are required, the student will be put on the 210 Block Plan by default.
Changes to meal plan selection happen through the Residential Life Office. Once a plan is selected, it will remain in place until the following semester. You may change your meal plan selection within the first 7 week days of each semester (first 7 days of classes) by using this link: MyBryantHousing.
ID cards are created at the Information Center on the first floor of the Fisher Student Center. Should your ID card malfunction at any time preventing you from using it for dining purposes, please contact the Information Center at infocenter@bryant.edu or stop by the info desk.

Unused block meals and guest passes expire at the end of each semester. There are no refunds for unused meals. Students can find the number of meals remaining on their plan by downloading the GET App on the Bryant Mobile App, which allows students to track meals, Dining Dollars, guest meals and Bulldog Bucks balances. The GET App can also be used for Mobile Ordering at select venues.
In addition to traditional dining in Salmanson Dining Hall, meal plans can also be used at other locations, offering added flexibility and convenience to accommodate a wide variety of schedules. These alternative venues offer meal equivalency options: The Archway Café, Bulldog Bytes Café, The Exchange, Tupper’s, and Nick’s @ Nite.
Dining Dollars come with your meal plan and can be used at these dining locations: The Archway Café, Bulldog Bytes Café, The Exchange, Tupper’s, Nick’s@Nite, and Salmanson Dining Hall. Dining Dollars carry over from the fall semester to the spring semester each academic year, providing the student remains on a meal plan. Unused Dining Dollars are forfeited at the end of the spring semester on the last day of finals. There are no refunds provided for unused Dining Dollars upon graduation, withdrawal or for any other reason.
Bulldog Bucks can be used like cash at all retail locations. Bulldog Bucks are also accepted at Uno Pizzeria & Grill in Smithfield, RI. Every meal plan starts a student off with $25 in Bulldog Bucks. Additional Bucks can be purchased on the GET App on the Bryant Mobile App. Bulldog Bucks balances remain on a student’s account until graduation or withdrawal from the University. At that time, balances of $25.00 or more will be transferred to the student’s tuition account. If the transfer results in a credit balance, the credit will be refunded accordingly, otherwise, it will be applied to any outstanding balance.
Dietary Restrictions
AVI Fresh is committed to working with any student with a dietary restriction diagnosed and documented by a doctor or other appropriate medical professional. If a student’s dietary restriction is impacting meal plan usage, the following guidelines must be followed:
In extreme circumstances, the University may exempt a student from a required meal plan for documented medical conditions which cannot be accommodated by AVI Fresh. In these cases, Cheryl Brock, in consultation with Health Services and AVI Fresh, will make that determination and inform the student. If an exemption is made due to documented dietary restrictions that cannot be accommodated, the student must complete the Medical Accommodations Form at: MyBryantHousing and submit documentation from a medical professional each semester during the meal plan selection process in order to remain exempt.
Exemptions will not be considered for vegan, vegetarian, gluten or lactose dietary restrictions as AVI Fresh provides options for these dietary needs at their “Clarity” station which provides safe, delicious choices for diners with food allergies or gluten intolerance. “Clarity” excludes dairy, egg, wheat, soy, sesame, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and shellfish. Other circumstances not considered cause for exemption include work, class or practice schedules, personal preference, or financial considerations.
Student Feedback and Suggestions
To ensure you are completely satisfied with your dining experience, we encourage you to provide suggestions and feedback to any AVI Fresh staff member during your meal. Staff are available at every shift to take suggestions.

Current students can monitor the status of their financial aid awards, track missing documents required for processing and view their student account by logging into Banner Self Service This convenience is available to all enrolled students with an official Bryant University Personal Identification Number (PIN).
