Winter Break Hours

Campus bell tower in the winter

We're pleased to offer flexible dining options during the winter break period running from Friday, December 15, 2023, to Monday, January 15, 2024. For students who will remain on campus during that timeframe, dining options will be available on most days with a few exceptions which you can view below.

Most notably, almost all locations will be closed Christmas Eve/Christmas Day (Dec. 24-25, 2023) and New Year's Eve/New Year's Day (Dec. 31, 2023 – Jan. 1, 2024) so our staff can enjoy the holidays with their families.

Thank you for dining with us and Happy Holidays!
