ID cards are required to check out books in the library as well as for entry at certain events.

Dining Services

Food services management operations are contracted through Sodexo Campus Services. The Office of Dining Services administrative office is located on the first floor of the Sansbury Campus Life Center, adjacent to the cafeteria.  Residential students are required to purchase a meal plan for anytime access and all-you-can-eat meals in the cafeteria, with equivalencies at any of our other venues. For non-resident students, a variety of food choices are available and may be purchased with cash, a declining-balance plan, or with one of our other cost-saving commuter meal plans. A minimum $55 meal plan is required for all non-residential students. A valid University ID is required for all meal plans or declining-balance purchases. In addition to the cafeteria, other venues include Boar's Head Deli, located in the Health Education Complex, Perk UP! located in the library and, Hissho Sushi and World of Wings located on the ground level of the Horace C.
