Meal Plans
The dining program at Carroll College is fashioned to build community and simultaneously increase food security for our students. While many colleges promote three meals a day in narrow meal windows, Carroll’s dining program operates a continuous service dining commons, and on-campus meal plans provide unlimited access during operating hours. Thus, students can step in for a full meal, a quick snack, or an extended study session, utilizing the St. Thomas Aquinas Commons [STAC] as they would a kitchen and dining room at home.
Meal plan selections are for the academic year and are non-transferable. Students are offered the opportunity to change their meal plan selection each semester through Friday of the week school begins. Students must show their ID/meal card to enter the dining hall and when using their Flex Cash.
