Buddy Meal Program

How to use the Buddy Meal Program

The “Buddy Meal” Program is designed to provide dining hall meals to sick and injured students who are unable to leave their residences for health reasons.

• If you have respiratory virus, COVID-19, or other illness symptoms, visit the health center website and be sure to follow recommendations.
• Ask a roommate, a friend, or your RA to pick up a Buddy Meal from the dining hall.

If you are picking up a meal for someone who is sick or injured, you will need:

• Your Buddy’s student ID card
• Your student ID card. You do not need to be a meal plan holder to pick up a Buddy Meal for someone.

Please do the following:

• Tell the cashier that a Buddy Meal is needed.
• Wash your hands after handling ID cards and before handling food.
• The cashier will ask if you will be eating a meal as well:
  • If Yes, the cashier will swipe you in to have your own meal; after you eat, return to the cashier for a Buddy Meal box.
  • If No, the cashier will give you a Buddy Meal box and you will have 10 minutes to fill it.
