Enjoy the convenience and flexibility of a food service program designed with you in mind. The University’s Dining Program requires all students living in the residence halls to participate in the meal plan. This meal plan offers continuous dining throughout the week with identified meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner hours weekly in the Wesley’s Cafe. Three meals each day Monday through Friday and Two meals each day on Saturday and Sunday. We have designed a meal plan that will maximize your choices. A rotation of daily menu selections will be featured in the Cafeteria. There are a variety of options available for non-resident diners.
MEAL PLANS & ENTRY TO THE DINING HALL
Policies and procedures must be followed to maintain an effective and efficient dining program. We invite you to select and eat what you like in the dining hall; however, due to government health regulations, removal of food, glassware, utensils, and china is not permitted without the express permission of the Food Service Director. The Health Department requires shirts and shoes to be worn in the dining facilities at all times.
Friendly/Fresh/Fit Healthy menu items are part of Sodexo Company’s Dining Program.
