Pack-Outs/Snack-Outs


When your residence hall has a meeting or special event, what could be better than food to go with it? University Dining Services offers a variety of take-out options to make these activities more enjoyable. From ice cream sundaes to barbecues, we can help make your event a success.

Pack-Outs are full dinners and replace the evening dining hall meal. For lighter fare, Snack-Outs are popular. Both options include beverages, cups, napkins, utensils and supplies. Resident Advisors and Hall Councils should select their choice well in advance and place an order with their respective Housing Representative listed below.

Three business days before the pack-out, the Representative must submit the names and "W" numbers of all expected participants. Events will be cancelled if "W" numbers are not complete.

Pack-Outs may be held Monday through Thursday during the regular dinner hours in the dining hall meeting rooms i.e. Gold Room (Ridgeway), Chart Room (Fairhaven), O'Keeffe Room (Fairhaven) or as a take out order. (Viking Commons does not have a separate meeting room and Pack-Outs will be regarded as a take out order only). Pack-Outs are not available opening week or finals week of each quarter, or on residence dining theme nights. Only 1 residence hall Pack-Out may be scheduled with a dining hall on any given night. Making your reservation early will secure your event. Pack-Outs may be picked up during normal operating hours except between 4:45pm to 5:15pm.

All carts, pans, BBQ, etc must be returned to University Dining within 24 hours after your event. Lost carts, pans, BBQ will be charged at replacement costs 48 hours after event and is non-refundable. If you return items, late you may be charged $50.

Snack-Outs are a nice accompaniment to an afternoon or evening get-together. Reservations must be made one week prior to the event. There is no minimum number of participants, but an accurate pre-count is necessary. Names and meal card numbers of participants are not required.

Snack-Outs are available any night of the week, except for the first week of each quarter, during finals and resident hall theme nights. Snack-Outs may be picked up during normal operating hours except between 4:45pm to 5:15pm

Pack-Out / Snack-Out Allowances

Pack-Outs and Snack-Outs are available on the basis of credits. One credit equals food for 100 participants. A Residence Hall may use all their points on one event or break it down to smaller events. For example, if a Residence Hall wants to use 2 points for one event for 200 participants or they could have 2 separate events each for 100 participants. Points are for Pack-Outs and Snack-Outs. For example, Alpha gets 1 point for Pack-Outs and 1 point for Snack-Outs for the month of October. Whole points must be used, rather than fractions.

Alpha 1 Fairhaven* 6 Mathes 3
Beta 2 Gamma 2 Nash 2
BT 4 Higginson 2 Omega 1
