Dining Services

All St. Lawrence University students are required to live and eat on campus each semester.  Students will automatically be placed on the full-flex meal plan.  Requests to change meal plans may be sent to sfs@stlawu.edu.

Meal plan choices include; the 21 Meal Plan, which provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day, 7 days per week at Dana Dining hall.  The Full Flex is a declining balance account where the cost of a meal is deducted from the student’s meal bank each time a purchase is made.  The Full Flex meal plan can be used at all of the dining facilities. The Half Flex is similar to the Full Flex but is for Seniors only.  Any unused Flex account balances are forfeited at the end of the academic year.

It is the student’s responsibility to monitor the balance of their flex meal account. Account balances can be accessed on line at www.stlawu.edu/sfs or at the checker’s station at the dining facilities.  In the event a student runs out of funds on their meal bank additions may be made at www.stlawu.edu/sfs.  Access is available 24/7 using a credit or debit card and funds are available immediately for use.

Members of Greek houses who live in University residences are permitted to take their meals in chapter houses and be excused from the University meal plan provided they notify the Student Financial Services Office prior to the beginning of each semester—this includes new members who join during the fall semester.  Students who are non-Greeks living in a Greek house are required to eat on campus.
Dining facilities are available in Dana Dining Hall, Northstar Café, and the Time Out Café located in the athletic complex.  Meal service hours are posted in the dining units and on the website..  Please note the following listed guidelines:

· Shirts and Shoes are required at all dining facilities
· No animals are permitted in the dining areas, except guide animals
· Only fruit, cookies, ice cream cones and beverages (one item per meal) may be taken from Dana Dining Hall.  To ensure that this rule is enforced dining services reserves the right to hold and inspect knapsacks, parcels or packages brought into or taken out of the dining areas.
· All dining facilities accept cash payment for guest.
Request for board releases are made to the Director of Dining and Conference Services. Any board releases granted are processed on a pro-rated basis.  Credits depend on the date requested and balance, if any on the meal bank.

A registered dietitian on the dining services staff is available for students in need of nutritional guidance.

Complimentary meals for faculty are provided by Dining Services for special occasions when a student wishes to invite a faculty member to lunch.  3 passes per year are included with each student’s meal plan.
