Dining on Campus

DINING ON CAMPUS DINING.PURDUE.EDU

Purdue Dining & Culinary is committed to the health, safety and welfare of every member of the Purdue community. They are working hard to make sure we adhere to social distancing and other health and safety guidelines, while offering students many options, with nutritious and high-quality foods. Residential Dining includes five dining courts, six On-TheGo locations, 1Bowl, Pete’s Za, and Sushi Boss. In addition to our Residential Dining Locations, there are several retail locations across campus where swipes and Dining Dollars will be accepted. These offerings include Panera, Jersey Mike’s, Chick-Fil-A, Qdoba, and Cosi to name a few. Purdue Dining & Culinary also offers On-The-Go locations on the academic side of campus in Lawson, Knoy and Lilly. Meals at all facilities will be carryout only to begin the semester. Then, the plan is phase in seating capacity when the University’s senior leadership (and in accordance with state and local regulations) says it is safe to do so.

Where will they eat? Student’s will have the option of taking their meal back to their room, or eat in a de-densified public space, adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Residential Dining will be offering breakfast, lunch and dinner, 7 days a week.

TYPES OF MEAL PLANS

As with locations, Purdue Dining & Culinary offers a variety of meal plans for students’ varying schedules and budgets. Meals are loaded onto your student’s Purdue ID card, so it is always handy.

Since meal service is changing a lot in order to comply with health and safety guidelines, our meal plans will be slightly altered in your favor for the 2020–2021 academic year. Take a look and compare. Rates are the same; you’re getting an extra meal (or two) from us! You will also be able to use up to 5 meal swipes per day. The meal plans run Monday through Sunday each week of the semester. All meal plans reset Sunday night for the following week and unused meals will be forfeited. Visit dining.purdue.edu to view available meal plans.

DINING DOLLARS

Dining dollars are part of most plans and like meal plans, are loaded directly to a student’s Purdue ID card. These Dining Dollars may be spent for a variety of things across campus in any Purdue Dining & Culinary operation. Dining Dollars for all meal plans are distributed by semester, half in the fall and half in the spring. Unused Dining Dollars will carry over from fall to spring semester and will expire when the meal contract ends after finals week in May.
