Dining Dollars are funds that are loaded directly onto your student ID with the purchase of a meal plan for use exclusively at on campus dining locations, including McGovern Dining Commons and Jay’s Nest. Unused dining dollars roll over from the fall to the spring semester but expire at the end of the academic year.

In McGovern Dining Commons we offer Simple Servings which is our allergen-safe, dining option for our customers with food allergies or gluten intolerance. This station offers food free from peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, wheat, soy, milk products, eggs, sesame and gluten-containing ingredients. We also offer dairy alternatives and certain gluten free products throughout McGovern, Jay's Nest, and McDonough Cafe. If you need help locating any of these items please ask, we're happy to help!

We encourage anyone with food allergies, dietary restrictions, or any other concern to contact General Manager, David Hebert at david.hebert@sodexo.com so our team can work with you to ensure your needs are met.

If you have any specific dietary concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out directly to our Registered Dietitian, Samantha Zajac, MS, RDN, CDN at 203-479-4827 or Samantha.Zajac@sodexo.com.
