Dining Hall Special Services
Don't have time to sit down for a meal? We understand. That's why we've designed the Grab and Go shops located in the basement of South Dining Hall and the north entrance lobby of North Dining Hall. Grab and Go locations offer a limited variety of sandwiches, salads, drinks, munchies, and microwave snacks. These meals may replace breakfast, lunch, or dinner on your meal plan. If your Grab and Go meal is for the current meal period, simply present your student ID to the attendant. If you are picking up a meal for the next period (lunch or dinner), you will need to obtain a voucher from one of our staff in the lobby or Grab and Go area itself.
If you are ill or confined to your residence hall, we can provide you with a carryout meal. Simply have a friend bring a letter from your rector or from the Student Health Center and present it to a manager in one of the dining halls. The letter must explain that you are confined to your room and must contain your nd ID number. We will verify your meal plan balance and provide carryout containers so that your meal can be delivered.
Notre Dame Food Services and the food services at Saint Mary's College maintain a co-exchange meal program. Notre Dame students with a valid meal plan may eat dinner at Saint Mary's any night of the week except Saturday. Saint Mary's students may likewise dine at Notre Dame. There is no charge for the co-ex pass. To obtain a co-ex pass, bring your ID to the lead monitor's desk in the lobbies of either South or North Dining Hall on the day you wish to eat at Saint Mary's. Between meals, tickets are available at Grab and Go locations in both dining halls.
Visitors to campus may purchase tickets for any of the meals served in the dining halls. Tickets may be purchased for single meals or as weekend packages. Payment for guest tickets may be made by cash, check, or student account charge. Guest tickets may be purchased at the lead monitor's desk in each dining hall.
Notre Dame Food Services offer varied culinary education classes. There are three basic class formats: demonstration, demonstration and tasting and practical classes with tasting. The subject of the classes can be general or specialized. Subjects range from "Learning Culinary Fundamentals" to prepare students who are graduating and will be living alone, to such topics as "Pasta From Scratch," "Stir Frying," "Desserts - Simple and Others," and "Homemade Soup." These and others can be discussed with our executive chef. To arrange a class, please contact a staff member in our culinary services office.
At Notre Dame Food Services, we are ready to assist those students who have special needs, a disability, or an injury. Ramps are located at both the north and south entrances of North Dining Hall and at the front entrance of South Dining Hall. Please locate a manager should you need assistance. If you have any questions, please call South Dining Hall (574/631-6147) or North Dining Hall (574/631-6176).
