Resident Student Meal Plans

Roanoke College Dining Service is self-operated and proud to provide your culinary experiences during meals and campus events. Students may use their meal plan in the Sutton Commons, the Cavern-- our "grab and go" establishment, at Rooney's Brews in Fintel Library, or at Freshens on College Avenue.

All meal plans will be allotted by the week, the plans will refresh weekly at 2 AM Sunday. All unused "swipes" will be forfeited at that time. Flexible dining hours have been designed to accommodate your active schedule.

See Student Life - Residence Halls to determine meal plan requirements for each Hall.

Reusable take-out containers are a sustainable option offered in the Sutton Commons, for guests who desire to take meals to-go.  Dining plan holders should see the cashier to be issued a coin that may be exchanged for a clean reusable container.  Return emptied and rinsed containers to the return station in Colket Center to receive another coin.  

Meal plan holders may also use a "swipe" (meal access equivalent) in our retail locations: The Cavern, Rooney's Brews, and Freshens.  Students may use up to two swipes per transaction. 

Plan holders may change their meal plan selections through the second week of the new meal plan period by contacting the Business Office.

Guest swipe access will be active after the second week of the new meal plan period.  This is to allow for students to finalize selecting the most appropriate plan for their dining needs.
