Food service at the University is provided by Sodexo, Inc., a leading provider of integrated food and facilities management. Each day a variety of entrees, which may include: deli sandwiches, pizza, soups, salad bar, fresh fruits, desserts, and beverages are offered in Lower Egtvedt Hall. In the fall semester, dining service begins on the first day of orientation and ends with the evening meal on the last day of finals. Service resumes the day before undergraduate classes begin in the spring, and the final meal is served on the last Friday before graduation. Food Service is not available during Thanksgiving, Christmas, spring, or summer breaks.

Exemptions
Exemptions from the meal plan requirement are based on Sodexo’s ability to meet the dietary needs of each student. All efforts will be made to accommodate dietary restrictions and should be discussed with the General Manager so we can understand the nature of needs. Students wanting to petition the meal plan requirement must complete a meal plan waiver request form. These forms can be obtained from the Office of Residence Life. The accommodation request is reviewed by the Director of Residence Life and Student Engagement in coordination with the Sodexo General Manager. If a waiver of the meal plan requirement is granted, a prorated refund will be given based on the number of calendar days attended until the date the petition is approved. No refund is granted after 60 percent of the term has passed.
