Dining Info for Move-In Weekend (Aug 22-25)

Posted on by

Fall semester meal plans (including flex passes & points) officially begin on Thursday, Aug 22nd. If you are part of an early move-in group before Thursday, your group will provide all your dining details to you.

DINING WITH GUESTS DURING MOVE-IN: Students with meal plans are welcome to bring guests to the dining hall. A student can use a flex pass (one per guest), points, or Husky Bucks to admit their guest(s). Guests can also use debit/credit to pay the guest meal rate. Dining Halls are cashless. This info applies throughout the whole semester. 

HOURS: Make sure you review our hours for our locations and their meal times. Not all dining halls will be open on Thursday. All will be open on Friday and through the weekend.
Check out hours for all our locations at dining.uconn.edu/hours.

UCONN ID – Make sure your UConn ID is activated and that you bring it with you to dining locations.

Fall 2024 Dining Updates

Posted on by

Connecticut Dining Hall (CT Hall): We are thrilled to announce the opening of a brand new 500-seat dining hall on the Storrs campus! Our staff have worked diligently over the past month to prepare the space for the official opening on August 22nd. This beautiful and modern space is located on the south side of campus overlooking Mirror Lake.  Given the excitement around this new facility, lines may be long. We appreciate your patience and kindness toward our staff during this time.

Fall Semester Hours for CT Hall:

Monday through Friday

  • Breakfast: 7am-10:45am
  • Lunch: 11am-2:30pm
  • Dinner: 4pm-7:15pm

Saturday & Sunday

  • Brunch: 10:30am-2pm
  • Dinner: 4pm-7:15pm

Late-Night Dining: South Dining Hall will replace McMahon as one of our late-night dining locations. We made this change for the following reasons:

  • McMahon was at capacity during Late Night service.
  • To accommodate the growing community in South campus.
  • South Dining Hall can accommodate more students & has greater food storage capacity.
  • South Dining Hall offers Halal menu items which will be available during Late Night service.

Northwest Dining Hall will continue to be the late-night location for the north side of campus. 

South & Northwest will be open until 10pm, Sunday through Thursday (beginning Sunday, August 25th). For additional evening dining options, visit dining.uconn.edu/late-night

Flex Pass Update: A small mac & cheese option has been added to the Flex Pass value meals at campus cafés. New to using flex passes and points? Learn more at dining.uconn.edu/flex-pass-and-points

Soup at Market Cafe: Soup from the Market Cafe, in the Student Union, will be moving to its own station within the Union Street Market (USM). Mac and cheese will still be available at Market Cafe.

Retail Hours: Mango and Union Street Market will be closing earlier on weekends due to changes in the operating hours of the buildings they are located in. 

Change Your Meal Plan: You have until Friday, September 13, 2024, to upgrade or downgrade your plan.
