ALL YOU CARE TO EAT DINING 
Resident dining halls are the best alternative when you have time to sit down and enjoy a full meal. This is your best value offering unlimited seconds and a wide variety of food options from which to choose. The three resident dining halls are: Dougherty Hall,    St. Mary's Hall and the Donahue Court. Each hall features their own daily menu. There are always vegetarian entrees on the menu, as well as, salad, cereal, and deli bars, fruit, low fat and non fat items. Pick up a menu at any dining hall so you can plan your meals for the week.  Thank you for understanding and cooperation, food may not be taken from the resident dining halls.

Parents of meal plan participants, and siblings under the age of 12, dine for free in our resident dining halls when accompanying their son or daughter.  Meal Plan restrictions apply according to the meal plan participant's actual plan.  Meal Plan participants must be present for this special discount to apply.


A LA CARTE - DINING
When you are pressed for time or if a change of pace is needed, ala carte operations are a great alternative. They offer their own special blend of menus, service and atmosphere. Food may be purchased to eat in or to take out. Cash, WildCard and Food Points are always accepted as well as the Meal Plan Express (M.P.E.) Program.

The Meal Plan Express option allows you to use your meal plan in a a la carte during specified meal hours. Our expanded side account of points for each meal plan allows you to purchase food when you are hungry any time of the day, when the all-you-care-to-eat dining halls are closed. Sorry points cannot be converted to cash. Give your budget a break, buy a meal plan today!
