Oneonta Auxiliary Services (OAS)
The mission of Oneonta Auxiliary Services is to support the College at Oneonta through our commitment to exceptional customer service as we establish, operate, manage, enhance, and promote programs and auxiliary services for the benefit of the College community. OAS is a not-for-profit corporation governed by a Board of Directors consisting of four students, two faculty, three administrators, and one at-large member. The Board of Directors determines the budget and policies of OAS within guidelines established by the State University of New York. The Board employs a chief executive officer for the corporation, responsible for implementing board policy and directing overall operations.

Services presently provided directly by OAS or through subcontracts consist of the following:

• Dining Services
• Red Dragon Bookstore
• College Camp
• College ID Card
• Dragon Dollars
• EZadd
• The Shipping Room
• Check Cashing & ATM’s
• Laundry
• MicroFridges
• Vending

Dining Services: Through a contract with Sodexho, OAS provides an excellent variety of high-quality food service operations. They include three dining halls, coffee shop, a snack bar and a large convenience store. Hours of operation are determined by customer needs and utilization.

The College requires that each student who has contracted to live in a campus residence hall purchase a dining plan each semester. First-year students are required to be on an Unlimited Dining Plus Plan for one semester with a second semester option to reduce the Declining Balance by $100.00. Transfer and Readmit students are required to be on the Unlimited Dining Plus Plan for one semester.
Although those students will eat most of their meals in either Wilsbach or Hulbert Hall on this plan, provision is made for flexibility to purchase some meals at other dining halls and buy items at the convenience store. After the first year, students have a wider selection of dining-plan options and flexibility. For more information regarding dining services, please visit http://dining.oneonta.edu.
