Keep in mind:
There are two areas in Tobey-Kendel Dining that are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during the academic year. Students can use Dining Dollars at both locations.
- The “self-serve mini market” area is located upstairs in Tobey-Kendel Dining.
- This area has convenience items (just like in Munchy Mart) as well as fresh made sandwiches, salads, and wraps.
- The Just Baked hot vending machine is located in Tobey-Kendel Dining, just inside the front doors.
- This vending machine is different than most. Choose from your favorite items like sliders, pretzels, cookies, mac n’ cheese, and dumplings — and it will heat them up for you.
The building is open from 8am-8pm most days, but if it’s after or before then, registered students are eligible to use their UNC ID and swipe in the building to access these locations.
