Hours of Operation

We are dedicated to serving delicious and diverse food year-round in our various dining locations, providing convenience, delicious and nutritious food options, and community across campus.

All of our dining locations have a variety of hours to accommodate different customer needs throughout the week, whether you want to sit down and eat with your friends or grab a bite on the go when you're in a rush. We have dining options that will fit your needs.

Please see below for the hours for our dining operations.

Students eating in Holmes Dining Hall

NEW for Spring 2024: You asked and we listened! Holmes Dining Hall will now stay open until 1:30pm, Monday through Friday at lunch. We know some students were having a hard time making it to lunch because of classes that got out right around 1pm (when we used to close), so we adjusted our hours. We hope this helps you make it to lunch during the week!

    Tobey-Kendel Dining will be CLOSED due to construction.
    Because of the renovation, our mobile food carts will be deployed in the TK courtyard during lunch and dinner, Monday-Friday to serve our customers on central campus. If the weather is cold, we can't have the food carts out, so we'll be serving out of the entryway in TK. We look forward to sharing the "new TK" with everyone soon!
