Meal Plan Information

Fall 2020

This year with COVID-19, the following modifications have been made to Dining Services.  Food selections for meals will include a choice of hot entrees (including vegan), grill items, deli, salads, fruit, dessert and beverages.  “Farmer’s Fridge and York Street Market” will be featured options.  Throughout the semester, specialty days will feature sushi, local vendor showcases and themes. Meals will be picked up in “to-go” containers from the Robeson Food Court in the Paul Robeson Campus Center.   The “On the RUN” convenience store will also be open.  Meals will be provided in disposable, compostable and recyclable containers, following current COVID safety guidelines.  Additionally, a registered dietitian is available for programming and scheduled consultations.

 

Note:  Later this semester mobile ordering will be implemented.
