Dining locations will begin opening the week of Aug. 17. Students, staff and faculty will notice adjustments to campus dining this semester: 

  • All dining centers, the Alferd Packer Grill in the UMC and our grab-n-go locations will be open to residence hall students only.     
  • All dining options will be grab-n-go only and some may require ordering ahead.
  • Block meal plans will not be available for purchase. 
  • The campus community can access retail markets, restaurants and cafes. Campus Cash and credit/debit cards will be accepted. 
  • Students, staff and faculty can use the new Nutrislice app and website to view menus and order ahead at most Campus Dining Services locations beginning Aug. 17.

The Rec Center is reopening

The main Student Recreation Center will open on Monday, Aug. 10 and will be limited to students through Aug. 31 as we monitor building capacity and safety protocols. The Rec Center at Williams Village is currently closed and is under review to open at a future date.

All members will be expected to wipe down equipment before and after use. Rec Center staff will provide additional cleaning throughout the day, especially in high-traffic areas such as restrooms, locker rooms and activity/fitness areas.
         
Reservations will be required for some areas and other areas may have modifications or may be closed for the semester.
