Campus dining will be in the temporary dining facility this year located on the west side of the Trapper Field. See the building with the yellow star on it below:
Find driving directions on Google Maps.
You will need to sign up and follow a personal dining schedule this year (due to the limited number of diners we can serve at any given time in the temp dining building this year):
- Look at your class schedule to determine the best time to eat lunch and dinner. Don’t forget to consider your activity schedule too. Monday – Friday there will be five lunch periods (30 minutes each) and four dinner periods (45 minutes each, except 7pm which is only 30 minutes). Breakfast will be open seating (so no need to sign up for M-F breakfast or for brunch/dinner on weekends).
- Use the form to indicate your desired dining times for this semester for lunch and/or dinner periods that work best for your schedule (for each day of the week).
NOTE: If a dining period is at capacity we will evaluate who can be moved to a different dining period based on individual class schedules. You may be moved to a different lunch or dinner period, but every effort will be made to find a time that will work with your schedule.
- Confirm your dining schedule on your account in the MyNWC student portal before you head out. (You may need to refresh the browser window to see the most updated schedule.) We recommend you do this the first couple weeks of class to ensure that you're aware when your dining periods are (in case you've been moved because of capacity issues.)
- Go back to the NWC Dining form at any time to request changes (just remember that changing a reservation time, then changing your mind and trying to get back into the old time, may not be possible, so be sure that's what you want).
You can walk or take the FREE Dining Shuttle that will run a loop through campus to and from the temp dining facility during lunch and dinner.
