Dining Services
Residential student meal plans are designed to provide breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Monday through Friday. Brunch and dinner are provided on Saturday and Sunday. Note: Friday, July 4 will be brunch and dinner at Resnik Café.
The main dining hall is located in Resnik House in the Resnik Café. Students will use their weekend (Saturday and Sunday) meal blocks (brunch and dinner) at Resnik Café. The weekday (Monday through Friday) meal blocks (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) can be used at Resnik or any other dining venue on campus. These weekday meal blocks are referred to as “traveling meals".
In addition, residential students are provided with $14 DineExtra funds per week that can be used at all dining venues on campus including Entropy (the campus convenience store) and Scotty's Market (the campus grocery store). These funds expire at the end of each week. (The week runs Sunday through Saturday.)
Commuter student meal plans provide $14 DineExtra funds per day Monday through Friday, equivalent to $70 per week. The full value of $70 is available for use each Monday, and any remaining funds in the account will expire on a weekly basis (the following Saturday at midnight).
