UB Snackin'

Welcome to UB Snackin'! Vending machines provide an alternative food and snack service 24-hours a day in a variety of locations around both campuses.

Convenience

UB Snackin' vending machines in Ellicott Complex

Our vending machines will accept either cash or your UB Card for purchases. Card readers have been installed on every machine on campus. The card readers are programmed to use Dining Points first and then roll over to Campus Cash after Dining Points are exhausted. Your UB Card works just like a debit card—the amount of your purchase is deducted from your account each time you make a purchase, and the card reader displays your remaining balance. No more scrambling for quarters when you want a snack; just swipe your card through the reader and make your selection. Paying with your UB Card makes using the vending services convenient and secure!

Most UB Snackin' vending machines are GET ready. To confirm that the machine at your location is compatible with GET, look for the Location Number on its sticker. Find out more about GET Mobile Access at the MyUBCard Manage GET Account page.

Variety

Expect an extensive assortment of your favorite national brands in the snack and beverage machines, with numerous selections stocked for those seeking healthier items. To round out the menu, subs, sandwiches and entrees will be stocked daily in our food machines. With machines prominently placed throughout campus, you're certain to find plenty to satisfy your cravings at any time of the day!

Smart Choice: Where can you find healthier snack and beverage options on campus? Look for the Smart Choice A+ icon! Healthy snacking is an excellent way to fuel your brain and to reach your daily nutritional goals. Items marked A+ must fit certain nutritional criteria including restrictions on saturated fat, sodium and added sugar. In addition, items must have a nutritional redeeming quality that benefits you!

  • Meets less than or equal to 10% daily value for one or more nutrients: Calcium, Iron, Potassium and Vitamin D
  • Low in sodium: 600mg per entrée, 400mg per side and 200mg per snack
  • Fits into many diets including gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, halal and kosher

Ensuring that our vending machines have healthier products ensures that you can make better choices on campus. Look for the A+ icon to make smart choices about your snacking today! Please keep in mind that many foods can be good choices if you use balance and moderation.
