To Go Meal Requests

Criteria for To-Go Meal

Getting a to-go meal in the dining hall is available when a student has a medical necessity, quarantining, or a valid conflict with available meal times.

  • Conflict with meal times due to:
    • Class schedule
      Justified by a class schedule that would make it impossible to dine in any of our resident dining facilities. Please submit your class schedule along with the form below. Schedules will be verified with the Registrar’s Office.

    • Commuting from the Storrs campus to Avery Point or Hartford campuses for classes  (Avery Point/ Hartford class schedule must be attached to the form below.)
  • Medical Necessity (please follow these steps)
  • Quarantine
    • Students who are identified by UConn Student Health & Wellness (SHaW) for quarantine will be allowed to get a to-go container at the Dining Hall check-in station.
    • Dining will receive your name from SHaW. Please tell the Dining employee working the check-in station that you are approved for a to-go container.

The Process After You Have Been Approved

Once approved, forms are sent directly to the dining hall manager so they can contact you to confirm/work out the details. If you need to pick up your meal prior to our 7:00am opening, we can accommodate you as early as 6:00am. Meals can also be picked up the night before if you leave campus before 6:00am. If picking up the night before is more convenient, please remember your bag meal must be refrigerated overnight.

If you are coming to the dining hall during normal hours of operation, you must tell the staff member at the swipe in station that you are part of the bag meal program. They will tap your ID card, and this will deduct from a set number of meals that is established by your schedule. The staff member will provide you with a to-go container. A member of the dining hall management team can assist you with additional items for your meal, such as bagged chips, bottled water, etc. Only cold items (i.e. salads, deli sandwiches) are recommended as they are best suited for travel. For safety reasons, hot food is not recommended.
