Frequently Asked
Questions
How do you keep track of
meal plans?
Each student on a meal plan is
assigned an account in our meal plan computer program. Your I.D. is then
encoded with your account number. At the main computer terminal, your
I.D. is scanned and your meal plan is deducted accordingly.
What
happens to the meals that I do not eat during the week?
The meals do not carry over from
week to week. The meal plan resets on Monday mornings. Meal plan prices
are based on a formula including a missed meal factor. If everyone used
100% of their meal plan, the price of the meal plans would be higher.
When can I use my meal plan?
The meal plans begin on the first
day of classes and end after the last meal on the last day of exams. The
meal plan does not include the four-day weekend of Thanksgiving and the
week of Spring Break (including the weekends prior and after Spring
Break).
Where can I eat
if I have a conflict of schedule?
If for some reason your scheduled
classes conflict with the dining services meal times, your next option
will be to utilize take out meals.

Are there any
exemptions from the meal plan?
We
are able to prepare most specialized diets prescribed by your physician.
Thus, it is very rare for an exemption to be granted. Any such requests
should be submitted in writing, along with your physician's detailed diet
prescription to the Dining Services office. Your request will be reviewed
in a timely manner. If we cannot meet your needs, an exemption will be
granted.
Can I take food out of the
cafeteria?
If
you are unable to eat your meal in the cafeteria,
you may
select a boxed meal or a take out meal from the daily menu. You will
receive an entree box and a smaller box which can be used salads. You
will make your selections from the prepared hot and salad lines. The
take out option is not an "all you can eat" option. The student's ID
card is required for this option, a meal will be deducted from your meal
plan. If you are able to eat your meal in the cafeteria, and
you do so; additional "take-out" meals will not be permitted unless
you swipe your card again.

Can a friend use my I.D.
card to eat?
I.D. cards are not transferable
and may only be used by the I.D. holder. You may use the I.D. in order to
utilize one of your Hospitality Meals for a friend or relative that is not
on the meal plan.
What happens if I lose my
I.D. card?
You should report it to the
Dining Services Office so we can suspend activity on your account. On
weekends, inform the cashier as soon as possible. Students are required
to replace their I.D. cards in the Admissions Office and revalidate their
I.D. cards in the Dining Services Office.
How do I get to eat
if my I.D. is not ready?
Come to the Dining Services
Office and we will issue a temporary pass.
Can I use my meal card to eat the same meal twice on the same day?
YES!
Is there a printed menu that informs what is being served daily?
Yes!
You will also be able to print the menus from this website. Menus will be
as accurate as possible, however, there may be occasional substitutions
due to product availability.
Is is true that I
can eat unlimited servings?
YES! It is true!! The dining
center features "unlimited seconds" at all meals except premium dinners.
Dining Services reserves the right to limit the number of servings at
special event meals. It is your responsibility to take only what you can
reasonably eat at any meal. To facilitate service, only one entree at a
time will be served to a patron through the service area unless additional
is specifically requested.
Does my opinion count?
YES! Let us know how we are
doing. Students and guests are encouraged to contact any facility manager
or supervisor. Our department has an "open door" policy and your visit
and suggestions are welcomed. We appreciate both positive, as well as,
constructive opinions. Visit our
Surveys
page.
