Q: When will I be able to use my meal plan after Christmas break?
A: Meal plan swipes begin on January 8, 2012 for the dinner meal period.
Q: Can I really eat as much as I want?
A: You can eat as many servings as you want of everything we serve in the Capital Court Dining Room. But we ask that you respect our three rules:
- Once you leave the dining area, do not re-enter it until the next meal period.
- Consume all your food and beverage item(s) inside the Capital Court.
- Take only one entree at a time and eat it before you return for seconds.
The third rule was designed to help us minimize waste and keep meal prices as low as possible for you.
Q: What if I forget my ID card?
A: If you're a traditional student and forget to bring your card, you'll have to get a temporary card from the Office of Residence Life. If you're a commuter student, get a temporary card from the Dining Services office.
Q: I'm going to be eating a lot of meals in the Capital Court over the next four years. How are you going to keep me from getting bored?
A: We're always planning mouth-watering ways to surprise you. Every month, we organize theme meals and special culinary events to add variety to our already varied and ever-changing menu.
Q: May I bring a guest to the dining room?
A: You are always welcome to bring a friend, sibling or parent to dine in the Capital Court. Meal prices are posted by the cash register near the entrance. Your guest(s) can pay in cash; or, if you want to treat, you can pay for the extra meal(s) using your Capital Bucks, or a guest meal swipe on your Block Plan.
Q: How can I contact Dining Services at Capital?
A: Contact us at (614) 236-7100 or just come up and talk to us in the dining room.
Q: Which meal plan should I choose?
A: All meal plans are good choices; however the 225 Block Plan and the $50 Capital Bucks are the best value. If you have additional questions or need help deciding on a meal plan, visit the Dining Services Office, we would be happy to help.
Q: May I carry out food from the Capital Court?
You may eat as much as you wish; however, if you choose to eat in the dining room, you are not allowed to carry out food. We do have a carry out option for those who do not have time to sit down and enjoy their meal. Please see our cashier for guidelines.
Q: May I add more Capital Bucks to my plan during the semester?
A: Yes, you can add more dollars to your plan in $25 increments. They do expire at the end of the semester. To purchase Capital Bucks, please visit the Capital Bucks page.
Q: How do I change my meal plan?
A: You can request a change to your meal plan online, by visiting the Residence Life and Housing page.
