Dining Services
The University has contracted with Chartwells, a professional food service corporation, to provide meals for students. The Dining Service Director works closely with students and staff to ensure the dining needs of the University community are met.
The University’s meal plan is a hybrid declining-balance, all-you-can-eat program. Prepaid plans are available to residents, commuters, faculty, or staff members.
Points in this program can be used for many purchases, ranging from entrees to snacks and ice cream to grocery items to convenience items such as toiletries and necessities.
All first-year residents are required to be on a “Big Red” meal plan. All first and second-year commuter students are required to be on the "Jefferson" meal plan. All other students are required to be on a meal plan at a level which is determined by their residence hall. Information concerning the meal plans is available through the Student Life Office.
Points may also be used in 63’s Dining Hall in the main Academic Center, the Food Court in McMahon Commons, Outtakes (a convenience-style store), the Starbucks Café in the Ryan Matura Library, Einstein’s Bagels located in the Martire Business and Communications building, JP's Diner, and the Balanced Kitchen located in the College of Education and Health Professions on Cambridge Drive, Trumbull, and at all home football and basketball games.
