Special Food Services for Student Meal Plans
Special food services are available for students that have meal plans.
Sack Lunches
Great for long-weekends when you are going to hit-the-road or anytime you don't have time to sit down and eat. Sack lunches are available for take-out at the Wilkerson Dining Center so you don't have to miss a meal. Tell the dining center staff at the checkstand that you would like to make a sack lunch for a meal you will miss. You will be allowed to make your own lunch and take it with you.
Sick Trays
If a student living in the residence halls does not feel well enough to go to the Wilkerson Dining Center to eat, there are two options to get a meal. Both options require a friend, roommate, or hall staff member to assist in bringing food to the student's room.
Decide between a traditional sick tray or flu figher kits.
Option 1: Traditional Sick Tray
If you are not feeling well, ask a friend, roommate, or hall staff member to go to the Wilkerson Dining Center and bring a small meal back to your room; your friend will select the meal from the daily menu.
- You will need to complete a Sick Tray Request Form on this page.
- The person picking up the Sick Try will need to present their ID card for verification purposes.
- You do NOT need to call ahead to pick up a traditional sick tray.
- Selected time must be 2 hours minimum before pick up. Example: If the Sick Tray Form is submitted at 3 p.m. earliest pick up would be 5 - 8 p.m.
Option 2: Flu Fighter Kits
If you have the flu, it is important to keep hydrated and eat smaller meals. Instead of a traditional sick tray, your friend, roommate or hall staff may bring you a Flu-Fighter Kit, either KIT 1 (mostly liquids) or KIT 2 (liquids and more solids).
- You will need to complete a Sick Tray Request Form on this page.
- Indicate on the Sick Tray Form which kit you prefer.
- The person picking up the Sick Try will need to present their ID card for verification purposes.
- The flu fighter kits are intended to be enough for one day, so we will take two meal swipes for each kit (unless you have an unlimited plan)
- You do NOT need to call ahead to pick up either kit.
- Selected time must be 2 hours minimum before pick up. Example: If the Sick Tray Form is submitted at 3 p.m. earliest pick up would be 5 - 8 p.m.
