Students getting food on the ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ Boulder campus.

Campus Dining Services is excited to welcome you to campus! We have always prided ourselves on serving our students and campus community a variety of delicious and healthy dining options that meet the different needs and tastes of our diners. To ensure the health and safety of our campus community, we have made a few adjustments to our dining operations.

What will eating on campus look like this year?Ìý

Campus dining will operate a little different this semester:Ìý

  • All dining centers, the Alferd Packer Grill in the UMC and our grab-n-go locations will be open to residence hall students only.

  • Off-campus students can access retail markets, restaurants and cafes. Campus Cash and credit/debit cards will be accepted.Ìý

  • All dining options will be grab-n-go only and some may require ordering ahead.

  • Students with meal plans may grab multiple meals in one visit - you will be able to swipe up to four times per visit at dining centers.

  • Block meal plans will not be available for purchase.Ìý

  • Students can use the new Nutrislice app and website to view menus and order ahead at select Campus Dining Services locations.

I have a special diet - where can I get food?Ìý

You can eat in any of our dining locations. Campus Dining Services has always been dedicated to accommodating various dietary needs and preferences, including allergen free options and vegetarian and vegan meals. You can use the new to filter menus based on your needs. Our staff dietitian, Lisa Whelan, is on hand to answer any questions you might have about navigating our dining centers with any kind of dietary restrictions, eating healthy or the sourcing of foods served in our dining centers.Ìý

What if I don’t want to eat the same thing everyday?Ìý

You don’t have to! Campus Dining Services has 14 different locations with different cuisines so you can switch it up. The C4C and Village Center have multiple stations with internationally inspired cuisine and The Alley @ Farrand has burger and pizza options. Order ahead at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ on the Run for a quick sandwich to go. Visit the Bakery or Starbucks for your morning coffee and pastry, or the WeatherTech Cafe for later night sandwiches and pizza. Our retail markets are great for grabbing quick snacks, beverages or everyday essentials. The Village Market also proudly serves Starbucks coffee.Ìý

How can I order meals ahead of time?

To order meals ahead of time for pick up, campus community members can use the Nutrislice app or to place orders at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ on the Run, the Alley @ Farrand, Sewall Dining Center, SEEC Cafe and WeatherTech Cafe. The Nutrislice app and website will allow you to view menus, filter menus based on dietary needs and preferences, place your order and schedule pick-up. You’ll then be able to pay with a meal plan, Campus Cash or a credit/debit card where accepted and pick-up your food to eat outside of the dining area.Ìý
