Accessing Meals for an Ill or Injured Student Policy
Updated October 15, 2026 

Policy: 
If a student is experiencing an illness or injury that does not allow them to attend a regular meal service at one of the residential dining halls, the student must call a dining hall or email one of the directors. When their to-go meal is ready the dining hall will contact the student, who will need to arrange for a roommate, friend or RA and give them their OneCard ID to pick up the meal at Caesar Rodney Fresh Food Company (CR) or Pencader Dining hall on their behalf. Students will need to call or email for every to-go meal. 

To-Go Meal Process: 

  • The student must call a dining hall or email one of the directors before having someone pick up their meal, for each meal period.
  • Ill students can view the online daily menu offerings for the desired dining hall location and inform the dining hall worker of their desired meal selection.
  • The student picking up the meal will need to bring the ill student's OneCard ID and present it to the cashier.
  • The cashier will confirm the order and give the student the to-go meal
  •  Each station will issue appropriate To Go packaging per the menu item. Outside to-go containers will not be accepted. It is the ill student’s responsibility to return the reusable to-go container to the dining hall within the designated time.
