Welcome to NC State! One of the most important parts of your experience here will be what you choose to eat, and we are excited to offer you award-winning options that are convenient, fresh, diverse and delicious.

We have more than 35 dining locations across campus, all of which accept some form of your meal plan. From traditional dining halls to a mix of restaurants, cafés and convenience stores, our program is designed to meet the unique needs and tastes of our student body. Throughout the “Locations” section of this guide, look for icons that show you how to eat using your meal plan, as well as other forms of accepted payment.

This book will serve as a guide to help you select your meal plan and familiarize you with our locations and offerings to ensure the best possible campus experience. Make your selection before you arrive on campus this fall by completing the form in the back of this book, or visit dining.ncsu.edu.

2 | meal plans

All first-entry students living on campus are required to have a meal plan.

NC State Dining offers a variety of meal plans that can be tailored to your specific needs.

Our primary meal plan options include the Freedom Pass, Meals-per-Week, Meals-per-Semester, and Athletic plans, with the addition of Dining Dollars. Our plans are designed to cover the cost of meals and snacks in three different ways.

· Dining Hall Swipes: Just one swipe at one of our dining hall locations and you can enjoy a full meal or light snack, all with a single swipe.

· Meal Credits: Use Meal Credits to purchase a meal at one of our many restaurants or cafés. Meal Credits are also used to purchase a dining hall take-out meal.

· Dining Dollars: Use Dining Dollars at convenience stores and vending machines, or to make small purchases at a restaurant or cafe in lieu of a Meal Credit. Choose from 100, 200 or 300 Dining Dollars per semester to supplement your plan.

The Commuter/Apartment plan is comprised solely of 750 Dining Dollars per semester. These dollars roll over from year to year and additional Dining Dollars can be added at any time throughout the semester.

choosing your meal plan

MEAL PERIODS Plans with a meals component are allowed one meal swipe per meal period. We offer a total of 28 meal periods throughout the week, and the meal plan week resets every Saturday morning. Use Dining Dollars to supplement your plan should you use more than the allotted meal swipes per meal period.

Breakfast Opening to 10:30 a.m. Lunch 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Weekend Brunch 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Dinner 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Late Night 9:00 p.m. to Closing

Looking for the ultimate in meal flexibility? The Freedom Pass plan

allows you to enter our dining halls every 30 minutes for a meal or snack, plus take advantage of 10 Meal Credits (i.e. restaurant meals) each week. Only one Meal Credit can be used during any of our 28 meal periods and the meal plan week resets every Saturday morning.

Sign up online at go.ncsu.edu/mealplans or by returning the enclosed form.

Choose from 10, 12 or 14 meals per week, depending on your needs. One meal can be used during any of our 28 meal periods and the meal plan week resets every Saturday morning.

Choose from 130 or 180 meals per semester that can be used anytime in the dining halls, or once per meal period in our restaurants or cafés. This plan gives you the flexibility to choose how many meals you use from one week to the next.

This plan includes 750 Dining Dollars and comes with a five percent discount at the cash register. It’s available only to students commuting to campus or living in Wolf Village, Wolf Ridge or Greek campus housing. Your Dining Dollars roll over each year, and if you run out, you can always add more throughout the semester.

If you are on an athletic roster, please consult your coach on which meal plan to choose. You have the option to add 150 Dining Dollars to any Athletic plan.

Plans are billed through the cashier’s office each semester. While Dining Dollars roll over from semester to semester, meals do not. Keep this in mind as you select your plan, and monitor your usage throughout the semester to ensure you have the right one. Make changes for the fall semester by September 30 and spring semester by January 31.

Meal Credits enable you to use one of your meals toward a purchase at one of our restaurants or cafés. On-the-go? Try Pack&Go and use a Meal Credit to purchase a dining hall take-out meal.

Meal Credits vary by location and begin at $5.25 for breakfast and $7.00 for brunch, lunch, dinner and late night. If you stay under the rate, you won’t owe anything more. If you choose to spend more, make up the difference with Dining Dollars or another form of accepted payment.

Only one Meal Credit can be used per meal period and there is a limit of two bottled beverages per Meal Credit transaction at restaurants and cafés.

Dining Dollars are flexible funds that supplement the meals component of your plan. Consider it “bonus” Meal Credits or extra “food money.”

Use Dining Dollars to:

· Buy extra meals or snacks if a meal has already been used during a meal period, or if you run out of meal plan meals.

· Cover the difference if you spend more than the allotted Meal Credit rate at a campus restaurant or café.

· Make purchases at our convenience stores and vending machines.

· Buy a meal for a family member or friend when they come to visit.

Choose from 100, 200 or 300 Dining Dollars. You can elect to buy more later, but note that we will automatically enroll you for the same amount in the spring unless you alert us before January 31, 2017.

Sarah lives on campus but likes to explore the local food scene throughout Raleigh. The Meals-per-Week plan allows her to use a meal during any of the 28 meal periods each week, either in a dining hall or in a restaurant or café using a Meal Credit.

Daniel lives on campus and the Freedom Pass plan is especially attractive to him, because he can access the all-you-care-to-eat dining halls anytime. He enjoys the flexibility of having 10 Meal Credits a week to use at the restaurants and cafés, in addition to the unlimited dining hall access.

Rachel lives on campus but likes to eat off campus, too. The 180 Meals-per-Semester plan is ideal for students like Rachel as it provides flexibility on a semester basis versus a weekly basis. The Meals-per-Semester plans are also great for students who don’t eat much at one meal, but would rather have one or two big meals a day and use Dining Dollars to cover everything else.

Hannah lives off campus and opted for the Commuter/Apartment plan, which consists exclusively of Dining Dollars. This gives her $750 Dining Dollars to spend as she pleases. Because she drives from home, she uses her Commuter/Apartment plan to eat lunch each day or grab a coffee en route to her last lecture.

HANNAH

“The unlimited dining hall access is perfect for me! I stop by Fountain on my way to and from class for a snack, like fresh fruit or even an ice cream cone!”

“I chose the 14 Meals-per-Week plan with the addition of $200 Dining Dollars. This allows me the convenience of grabbing a sandwich on the way to class or a smoothie after working out at the gym.”

“This plan gives me enough coverage for major meals during the week with less of a financial commitment as compared to the larger meal plans. The perk is that I can always add more Dining Dollars and I receive a 5% discount at the register. ”

“One week I may eat on campus 15 times, but the next may be completely different! The Meals-per-Semester plan gives me the flexibility to choose how many meals I use from one week to the next.“

NC State Dining is recognized nationally for our work to ensure students with food allergies and intolerances can confidently dine on campus.

We mark the eight major food allergens (gluten, dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts and soy) in all of our dining locations.

For guests who need to avoid gluten or dairy, we have a special worry-free station at the dining hall. It has a separate fridge stocked with dairy-free food and gluten-friendly items, plus a separate toaster to prevent cross contamination. Gluten-friendly foods are those made without gluten products.

NC State Dining is proud to be a contributing partner in the university’s overall sustainability goal to conserve energy, use resources wisely and reduce our carbon footprint. Check out a few of the ways we work to make “going green” part of being red.

2015 NC State Office of Sustainability Green Brick Award 2014 NACUFS Award Winner 2014 NC State Office of Sustainability Green Brick Award 2013 Food Management Award Winner 2013 City of Raleigh Environmental Award Winner

NC State Dining began a composting initiative at all dining halls in August 2010 and at One Earth in Talley Student Union in 2014. The initiative became a reality when an audit by Waste Reduction and Recycling (WRR) found that 70 percent of waste generated by Fountain Dining Hall was compostable. This led Fountain Dining Hall to add a biodigester diverting 55% of the compostable waste - which reduces trips by waste and recycling. The composting initiative has assisted with NC State University’s sustainability goal to decrease waste from landfills.

COMPOSTING INITIATIVE

Our dining hall take-out program, Pack&Go, features a reusable, recyclable take-out container. It’s economical and good for the environment. The dining hall take-out program has diverted over 138,213 styrofoam to-go containers from March 2009 to February 2016 by providing reusable, recyclable containers for guests to utilize.

TAKE-OUT PROGRAM

NC State Dining works with Green Circle NC to collect and upcycle the oil waste (~775 gallons per month). The organic waste is converted into biodiesel fuel and composting soil. Not only is the oil being put to good use, but it also is collected at no cost to us, saving thousands of dollars each year.

The nationally recognized “My Roots are at NC State” program connects NC State Dining with North Carolina growers, manufacturers, processors and producers to increase our ability to purchase locally and highlight the wealth of products grown and produced in our state. It also gives us an opportunity to share stories of NC State alumni working for these companies and how their work positively impacts our efforts to provide the best food possible for our students, faculty and staff.

NC State’s Agroecology Education Farm provides hands-on education regarding sustainable agriculture to students, staff, faculty and the community. One of the Agroecology Farm’s main goals is to produce fresh and healthy food items to be served at on-campus dining locations, extending sustainable agriculture education back to campus. In 2015, the six-acre site produced 3,222 pounds of crops for the dining program. We also provide funding for a hoop house at the farm, which extends the growing season and provides nearly year-round vegetable production. This year’s produce lineup includes sungold tomatoes, Swiss chard and peppers.

We have created several partnerships with student organizations and professors across campus, including the NC State Sustainability Stewards, EcoVillage, Our Table and the NC State Aquaculture Program, to assist and align our sustainability goals.

Through a partnership with the Offi ce of Sustainability, NC State Dining began reducing plastic waste by eliminating single-use plastic bags at the Atrium Food Court and C-Stores on campus. Reusable bags are now available for purchase at these locations, diverting over 95,000 plastic bags from the landfi ll since implementation.
