• McElroy Commons, Stuart Dining, and Corcoran Commons will serve as the primary dining halls on campus with limited seating and modified service layouts to move lines as quickly as possible and to serve guests as safely as possible.
• Eagles Nest, the Heights Room, and the Yellow Room will also be open for lunch and dinner with additional lines and the same menu selections to serve more guests quickly.
• Lyons will be open for breakfast and lunch, grab and go items, and coffee and tea only. 
• Hillside, Chocolate Bar, Bean Counter, and the Eagle Marts will be closed initially.
• GET Mobile ordering pick-up locations will be located at CoRo Café, Addie’s, the Yellow Room at Stuart, and Café 129 on the Brighton campus.

Serving meals in the three main locations and Lyons is our priority and allocated our employees to these locations first. This new system is labor intensive. We hope to open Hillside as soon as we have enough student employees.

• Corcoran, McElroy, and Stuart will be open from 7:30 a.m.–8:30 p.m., seven days a week. 
• Lyons will be open from 8 a.m.–3:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.
• Dining halls will be closed for 60 minutes between meals to sanitize service areas and dining rooms and to restock items. 
• GET Mobile will be open Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.–8 p.m. at CoRo Café and Addie’s; 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m. at Stuart; and 8 a.m.–2 p.m. at Café 129.

We will not be reserving dining times in advance.

Our hours are reduced to ensure that we have adequate staffing to serve students as quickly as possible. We will be offering Daily Deals that change each day.

• We will continue to offer BC Dining favorites and global-inspired dishes that feature fresh, healthy, and delicious ingredients. We have designed the menu to move the line as quickly as possible and to serve guests as safely as possible. We have picked fan favorites and included even more and new grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, and snack options. 
• All items will be served in compostable, to-go containers.
• No need to go across campus to find your favorite dish. Corcoran and McElroy will serve the same menu options each day.
• Due to health guidelines, self-service options such as soup stations and salad bars will not be available. Made-to-order bowls, greens, flatbreads, and more will only be available through GET Mobile.

Yes, there will be both vegan and vegetarian options at all open dining locations. Examples include a vegan soup daily, roasted mushroom gyros, tofu and avocado arepas, Southwestern beans and rice, tofu fried rice, and more. We have made new recipes that are vegan/vegetarian for this school year to provide those options. Additionally, there will be vegetarian and vegan options available via GET mobile at the three main dining halls. Lastly, if you want to stay up to date with vegan and vegetarian options, please email baldim@bc.edu to be put on the vegan/vegetarian elist. We always encourage feedback and communication with us, so that we can ensure you have options you enjoy!

Yes, we will offer vegetarian food options for all three meals to students in quarantine/isolation. Just let the person who is in charge of your Residential Life location know and they will communicate with Dining.

Self-serve areas, including salad bars, will be eliminated and all serviceware will be disposable. Prepared grab and go salads will also be available for purchase.

Late Night Service will be available once we are fully staffed.

Grab and go salads, sandwiches and snacks will be available at the dining halls all day and can be purchased for consumption later in the evening.

Guests will have a choice of menu options in the main dining locations, but orders will not be customized to serve guests quickly and safely. Customization will be available via GET Mobile such as selecting ingredients for bowls, greens, flatbreads, and more.

We will continue to take all the steps we always have to ensure students with food allergies, intolerances or Celiac disease can navigate safely.

• This includes highlighting items in red font on the digital signage that have tree nuts, peanuts or shellfish. 
• We also will label all allergens, including the top 8 major allergens, sesame, gluten, mustard, and sulfites on our online menu. This is a great resource to determine what is safe and what is not.
• At dinner every night, we have our Plain and Simple option, which is free of the top 8 allergens, sesame, and gluten. 

We strongly encourage anyone with allergies to meet with our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist by emailing baldim@bc.edu to make an appointment. We do offer meal accommodations for students who follow the Policy for Meal Accommodations, which requires providing appropriate documentation and registering with the Disability Office.

BC Dining employees will be serving your coffee.

Seating will be reduced in our dining halls for physical distancing. If available, students will have the option to eat in the dining hall or can take their meals to-go back to their rooms or other physically distanced spaces.

Based on public health occupancy guidelines and modified service layouts, seating will be limited. Seating arrangements have also been reconfigured for physical distancing. Students can choose if they want to sit with anyone.

In order to reduce wait-times and to serve everyone safely, the dining halls have been reconfigured for physical distancing. Look for signage guiding you to pathways to multiple serving stations. We have also designated entrances and exits to ease congestion. BC Dining staff will also be guiding you to help you get your food easily. In addition, we have made modifications in our menu offerings to maximize the speed of service and provide food as safely as possible.

We have developed menus and offerings to move lines as quickly as possible and to serve guests as safely as possible.  We have developed additional serving lines in the Eagles Nest at McElroy, the Heights Room at Corcoran, and the Yellow Room at Stuart with the same menu options as Carney, Lower Live, and Stuart Dining so that we have more locations for students to obtain food. 

In addition, all students on a mandatory plan can use their dining funds to purchase food via GET mobile.  We specifically recommend using this platform at lunchtime which is our busiest meal period.

FRESH to Table culinary demos will be temporarily suspended due to COVID, but there are still several dishes on the menu that utilize regionally and ethically grown ingredients that meet the FRESH criteria (Fairly Traded, Regional, Equitable, Sustainable and Healthy). Look for the “FRESH” symbol on the menus for dishes. Equal Exchange’s fairly traded coffee will be available at Corcoran, Stuart, and McElroy. Jerk Fish Tacos are made with a locally caught Acadian Redfish, an underutilized fish species. Bowls at Mac will have locally grown butternut squash, cucumbers, and red beets from Massachusetts farms. All of the eggs sandwiches are served with Pete & Gerry’s organic cage-free eggs.  Check out our local and sustainable sourcing page for info about our FRESH food producers.

If you want to support our FRESH program, pick up fresh veggies and baked goods at the Fall Farmer’s Market on Corcoran Commons Plaza Fridays or sign up for our CSA Farm Share with a friend for a weekly box of fresh veggies from Ward’s Berry Farm in Sharon, MA.

Yes. We will have sanitizing supplies and encourage students to clean their tables before and after use. We will also be sanitizing tables throughout the day.

Tables are limited to six per table and you choose who you sit with.

We will determine this as we go. 

GET Mobile is an online and mobile platform where you can pre-order and customize your dishes. All orders are prepaid and your order will be ready for pick-up at your convenience. Use GET mobile to order ahead, skip the line and save time!

You can place your order in advance (i.e. order breakfast the night before or order lunch while you are in your 9am class). If you select “ASAP” as your pick up time, your order will typically be ready within 30 minutes. You will receive a text notification when your order is ready for pickup.

BC Dining Services has implemented the following protocol since March to help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus. View our Preventative Measures.

Guests will be able to remove their masks to eat, but otherwise, masks or face coverings must be worn inside the dining halls.

In order to prevent the spread, we want to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination and require you to put away your phones when ordering and getting your food. Otherwise, you can use your phones while waiting in line or when seated.

Sanitizing wipes will be made available in the dining halls, and guests will be expected to clean their dining area before and after each use. In addition, hand sanitizer will be available for use before you enter our servery to select your food.

We require students use hand sanitizer before entering the servery. We will also have signs encouraging students to only touch the item they are purchasing.

Yes. You will be able to "Tap and Go" or swipe your own card.

No.

While the FDA and CDC have deemed reusable serviceware safe to use during COVID if washed and handled properly, we have determined that the safest and most efficient way to serve meals will be on take-out and to-go containers only, primarily due to limitations in staff capacity.

In order to minimize unnecessary plastic waste, we will be serving the meals on World Centric compostable fiber containers (so make sure to put them in the compost bin!).

Last year students consumed 10 million single-use plastic items from Dining Halls. COVID may lead to a temporary increase in plastic waste, but you can still help us minimize our footprint in the following ways:

• Bring your own reusable utensils and napkin for dining on the go. You can pick up a bamboo cutlery kit at the register, or feel free to bring your own from home (make sure to wash with soap and water before using!)
• Compost food waste and fiber containers! You can find compost bins in every dining hall across campus.  Eating on the go? Swing by a dining hall to toss your uneaten food or fiber container in the right bin. 
• Fill up your reusable water bottle at home so you don’t have to buy disposable water bottles on the go. 
• Skip the straw! If you’re dining in, try drinking your beverage without the lid and straw. 
• Recycle plastic correctly. Clean out food from clear plastic to-go containers and dispose of in the single-stream recycling containers across campus. 

Yes. You will also be able to purchase reusable Boston College bamboo cutlery at all of our dining halls. 

Yes. The farmers’ market will be available on Fridays at Corcoran Commons starting August 28. You can also sign up for a CSA farm share, which can be purchased through GET.
