What you'll study

This is not an academic programme but a practical campus service; relevant day-to-day elements and offerings include:

• Operating hours and service patterns for breakfast, lunch, dinner and special-day schedules (examples provided for August and Fall 2026).
• Public pricing for meals (listed rates for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Sunday Brunch) and meal-plan structures.
• Meal-plan mechanics and equivalency rules (how swipes and Dining Dollars work across dining hall and retail locations).
• Retail site offerings and hours for locations such as the Eagles' Nest and Lyceum Café, plus seasonal/regular hours.
• Special services and programs: To Go program (requires approved reusable container), Sick Trays with pickup times and procedures, guest meals, picnic/spaghetti dinner pickup contracts, and GrubHub pickup/delivery for select locations.
• Nutrition and allergy information availability.

Entry requirements

No academic entry requirements are listed because Student Dining is a campus service. For student employment within dining services, applications are accepted online through Handshake or via the Student Dining Employment Form; contact details for dining management are provided for further inquiries.

Career prospects

The page does not describe formal career pathways. Practically, student employment roles in dining provide experience in food service operations, customer service, retail food service and event meal logistics, which can support entry-level hospitality or food-service positions outside campus.

Scholarships & funding angle

The service page does not list scholarships. Financially, meal plans are charged per semester and do not carry over; students should compare plan costs and included Dining Dollars when budgeting. Additional meal blocks can be purchased and guest usage rules differ by plan.
