Dining Services
UNC Dining Services provides a variety of meals in several dining settings for students, faculty, staff, and guests. Holmes Dining Hall and Tobey-Kendel Dining Room provide an “all you care to eat” menu seven days a week with take-out meal options available. Meal plans are also accepted at the University Center Food Court and Bears Bistro.
The DASH food line is available at both Holmes and Tobey-Kendel and can accommodate students with specific dietary needs or food allergies. The DASH allows customers to consistently find healthy items that follow specific nutritional guidelines. A Registered Dietitian is on staff to assist with any specific dietary needs.
Students living on-campus can choose from one of four On-Campus Meal Plans offered (upperclassmen can choose from two additional meal plans, if eligible). UNC students living off-campus, at the Arlington Park Apartments, or in Lawrenson Hall can purchase any meal plan that is offered.
Students can use Dining Dollars to purchase food and beverage items at any on campus retail operations, including Einstein Bros® Bagels, Munchy Mart, Subway®, Sushi with Gusto®, Bears Bistro, Coffee Corner, and Pie Café. There are select vending machines across campus that accept Dining Dollars as well.
Dining Services also provides catering for special occasions, concessions for sporting events and campus activities. For more information, contact the Dining Services Office diningservices@unco.edu, 970-351-2652, or visit https://www.unco.edu/dining.
