Dining Services

Centre Dining Services provides the central dining service to the College community and is managed by Sodexo, considered by the industry as the leading college dining service provider. Three meals are served each weekday and two meals each on Saturday and Sunday. In addition to normal meal service, there are special meals and events offered for the student body throughout the academic year.

Centre Dining will provide Sodexo’s own award-winning dining program, ensuring individual servings of restaurant style menus and dining for our students. This program will provide a wide array of fresh food choices at each meal. Vegetarian and vegan offerings will be available at one or more food stations at every meal. Our residential dining program features Mindful, a value-added program that offers students an easy way to select delicious, nutritious and satisfying meals. It makes healthy eating simple and delicious for you. Centre Dining will also provide special services to student groups for meetings and special events. Arrangements for these services should be made with Centre Dining Catering Manager.

There are four meal plan options available for 2018-2019: (1) Carte Blanche which allows unlimited meals at the main dining hall and has $75 in Flex Dollars (flexible spending dollars); (2) 14 meals per week with $495 Flex Dollars; (3) 10 meals per week with $675 Flex Dollars; and (4) 7 meals per week with $945 Flex Dollars. Flex Dollar availability is split 45% for fall term, 10% for CentreTerm, and 45% for spring term. Flex Dollars not spent in a term will be carried over to the next term but any Flex Dollars not spent by the end of the academic year will be forfeited. Additional Dining Dollars may be purchased at the main dining hall at any time during the year.

On each meal plan, any meal eaten over the plan limit requires cash payment or Flex Dollars. There is no credit given if fewer meals are taken than your meal plan allows. Students may change their meal plans only during the first two weeks of the Fall and Spring terms. Students with any of the meal plan options must have a valid Centre I.D. card to enter the main dining hall during meal times and this card must be scanned at each meal. The I.D. card must also be used to make purchases with Flex Dollars at campus retail dining locations listed below.
