University Dining Hall Policies and Procedures

  1. We ask that you please take your dishes, glassware, and silverware to the dish room window. This is a key element to keeping the cost of your meal plans. 
  2. You are not permitted to take dishes, glassware, or silverware from the University Dining Hall.
  3. Sack meals are available in lieu of lunch or dinner (not breakfast) and can be picked up between 7:00am-10:30am, Monday through Friday. You are allowed only ONE sack meal during any given meal period. Sack lunches are not available on Saturdays and Sundays.
  4. Sick trays are available in the event you are ill and are unable to eat at the Dining Hall. Sick trays may be picked up for the ill individual by another person with the appropriate Bulldog Card. Abuse of this policy will result in disciplinary action.
  5. We do not provide refunds for missed, skipped, or unused meals.
  6. If you have special dietary needs, please contact Megan Sarantos, Director of Dining Services, at 559.278.4345 or mesarantos@csufresno.edu. We will be happy to work with you to meet your individual dietary needs.
  7. Shoes and shirt are required for entrance into the University Dining Hall.
  8. University Dining Services will provide food items in bulk for picnics, barbecues, etc. as part of the meal plan if a minimum of 24 License Agreement participants sign-up for the event.  Two separate exchange activities will be allowed on any given day. All arrangements, including alphabetized list of participants and a signed approval from the Fresno State Student Housing Director, must be made with University Dining Services a minimum of seven (7) days prior to the planned event (contact your RA for additional details).
  9. Any unauthorized holes punched in your Bulldog Card (ID card) may require total card replacement at the resident’s expense. The magnetic strip on the back of your card is sensitive, so please take care of your card.
  10. All food must be consumed within the University Dining Hall with one exception: guests may take one piece of whole fruit, a cookie, a wrapped sandwich, a bag of chips, or an ice cream cone. To-go containers are not available and the use of any personal to-go container will result in disciplinary action.
