Dining Services
Student meal plans offer convenience and flexibility. They're perfect for grabbing a quick coffee, picking up a snack between classes, or enjoying a full meal in the middle of your busy schedule. No matter what your day looks like, we have options for you!
The DINING PORTAL is currently open for Spring 2025. Students registered for classes can log in to purchase a meal plan and/or Dining Dollars. Spring 2025 meal plans are active Saturday, January 11 - Friday, May 9.
Note: Summer meal plans and summer Dining Dollars will be available to purchase around the first week of May. Check the blue box on the meal plan page for exact dates!
There are a variety of dining locations across campus for you to sit down and eat with your friends or grab a bite on the
go when you're in a rush.
It's easy to make healthy choices at Holmes Dining Hall. They offer various entrées and side dishes daily, along with a great salad bar and sweet treats make the meal complete. We're excited that Tobey-Kendel Dining has re-opened after being closed for renovations this past year. TK's format is very similar to the Food Court at the University Center, so there will be different options to choose from on Central campus.
There are many convenient retail dining options across campus. Stop by the University Center and grab a bagel and shmear at Einstein Bros® Bagels, a sub sandwich at Subway®, some snacks at Munchy Mart™, or fresh-made sushi at Hissho Sushi. Our newest locations in the UC include Bowlful, Empire State Pizza, Crisol Latin Kitchen, and Burger & Co. Bears Coffee Shop is located in Michener Library if you're needing some caffeine while you're studying. Starbucks® is located in Holmes Hall, so stop by and grab your favorite beverage and snack.
Students can use up to 5 of their weekly meal swipes as a Meal Exchange at Bowlful, Crisol Latin Kitchen, Empire State Pizza, and Burger & Co.
We still experience supply shortages every now and then, so there will be times when some items will be unavailable. Please speak to a manager if you don't see what you need in the dining room.
