Dining Services
#FeedTheTurtle
Welcome to Maryland Dining! We operate dining halls, cafes, convenience shops, catering, concession stands and a restaurant here on campus. From vegan cuisine to comfort-food, we offer a wide variety of delicious, healthy selections made fresh.
IF YOU LIVE OFF CAMPUS, ASK YOURSELF
- Am I on campus at mealtime and looking for some great food?
- Do I want a convenient, welcoming place to meet up with friends?
- Maybe a comfortable, quiet place to relax or study?
- One where I can find lots of healthy, affordable menu choices?
IF YOUR ANSWER IS “YES!” THEN WE'RE PLEASED TO OFFER YOU GREAT MEALS ON CAMPUS!
- Connector Plans provide you with a number of meals each semester*
- Anytime Dining gives you access to three dining halls.
- Dining Dollars offer UMD ID card convenience at shops, cafes, and dining halls – at a discount!
*Connector Plans do not replace the Resident Dining Plan requirement for students in traditional on-campus housing.
