Meal Plans
University Dining has a variety of meal-plan options to suit your needs and budget. Each plan is built around a set number of meals per week or semester that you can use in three ways:
- For dining hall meals
- Toward meals at campus quick-service restaurants through our equivalency program
- For dining hall take out, also through our equivalency program
All first-entry (ie. first time entering college) students in University Housing are required to sign up for a meal plan during their first two semesters, regardless of academic standing. Once you've signed up for a plan, you will be automatically enrolled in the same plan for the spring semester unless you contact us here or visit us in person at the University Dining office.
Locations
University Dining has a variety of locations throughout the campus. We have dining halls on East, Central and West Campus, Port City Java Cafés, food courts featuring national brands, a sports restaurant and various convenience stores located throughout campus.

Sustainability
University Dining is proud to be a contributing partner in the university's overall goal to conserve energy, use resources wisely and reduce our carbon footprint. Some of our initiatives include:
Composting
Composting in our dining halls is assisting with the university's goal to increase the amount of waste diverted from the landfill to 65 percent by 2015.
Take Out Program
Our dining hall take-out program, Pack&Go, features a reusable, recyclable take-out container. It's economical and better for the environment.
Neomonde Baking Company
Our dining halls feature pita bread, dinner rolls and artisan sandwich bread from this Triangle-based bakery. Neomonde uses natural products with the highest quality ingredients.
Recycled Cooking Oil
Since 2008, 55,000 gallons of our cooking oil have been recycled into sustainable fuels. That's enough to run 10 Wolfline busses for 10 years!
Howling Cow Dairy Products
Using fresh milk from the local NC State farms, the on-campus dairy plant processes and delivers milk products (and ice cream!) to University Dining locations.
My Roots are at NC State
This program connects University Dining with North Carolina growers, manufacturers, processors and producers to increase our ability to purchase locally.
Social Media
Since 1982, University Dining has been serving students at NC State, striving to provide the best quality and most variety to our students. Our locations are convenient to the entire campus, and we’re ever mindful of health and dietary concerns of our patrons. Whether you’re grabbing a bite in between classes from one of our quick service eateries or feasting at one of the all-you-can eat dining halls after a long day of classes, quality, convenience and variety are always a top priority with University Dining. You have to make tough decisions all day. Where and what to eat shouldn’t be one of them.
University Dining is a service of Campus Enterprises, the lead division for retail and hospitality at NC State. Learn more at campusenterprises.ncsu.edu.
