Please submit a boxed meal request a minimum of 48 hours before the meal. Meals are often ready for pickup as early as 4:00 p.m. the day before the requested meal. Pick up your meals at the checker desk at the Teraanga Commons Dining Hall. Be sure to bring your Campus Card.

Sick Chits

If you are not feeling well, contact your Residence Fellow or Residence Manager. Students can provide another designated individual (likely a friend) with the sick chit to allow them to pick up a meal and bring it to your room.

Visit the Dining Services website for full details on meal plans and locations to spend your Dining Dollars.

Ramadan

Students observing Ramadan may request Suhoor meals (pre-dawn meals) from the Teraanga Commons Dining Hall.

Please submit a boxed meal request a minimum of 48 hours before the meal and write “halal” in the dietary restrictions.

The meal will be available for pickup at the Teraanga Commons Dining Hall’s front desk as early as 4 p.m. the day before the requested date, and as late as 10 p.m. the day of the requested date.

This is an option for students looking to pick up a meal to have prior to the Teraanga Commons Dining Hall opening the following morning.

During Ramadan, the Teraanga Commons Dining Hall will operate as usual until 10 p.m., provide students with enough time to have an evening meal through Ramadan.

In addition, look out for increased halal menu offerings in the Teraanga Commons Dining Hall for the evening service as well as pop-ups at the Mix throughout Ramadan!
