Dining Services

Three places to eat on campus, one meal plan that covers them, and a cafeteria menu that changes daily. Here is how all of it works.

Where to Eat

Three spots, three different reasons to stop by. These hours are the same ones behind the open and closed badges at the top of the page.

The Cafeteria

Canteen-style, with stations that rotate daily

The main dining hall, and where most of campus eats. Several stations run at once — a few stay put all semester, and the rest change with the day's menu. Weekday breakfast, lunch, and dinner; brunch and dinner on weekends.

How Meal Credits Work

Your plan gives you a set number of meal credits each week. You can redeem one credit per window, and the windows run back to back from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Early Dinner

Dinner

One credit per window. Five windows a day means you can never spend more than five credits between 6 a.m. and 8:30 p.m., no matter which plan you are on.

Flex Dollars work differently. They spend like cash at any campus dining location, any hour it is open — no window, and no one-per-window limit. Coffee between classes, a late snack, or covering a friend who left their card in the dorm.

Meal Plans

If you live on campus, you will have a meal plan. Pick the one that matches how you actually eat — 19 meals a week is a lot if you sleep through breakfast.

Eating with Allergies or Restrictions

Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are marked at the stations, and allergens are identified on every item. If you have a medical dietary need, the dining team will build a plan around it. Email us and we will start that conversation before you arrive, not after.

Everyone Eats Here

You do not need a meal plan to eat on campus. Commuters, faculty, staff, and families visiting for the weekend are all welcome, and every location takes major credit cards. Pull up a chair.
