Dining In The Halls And Beyond

Our two on-campus dining halls offer buffet-style meals with all your favorites.

  • Brandeis Dining Hall includes homestyle, vegetarian, made-to-order and allergen friendly options. You will also find a deli, grill, salad, soup and breakfast stations. For those with meal plans, each meal is one swipe. Students, faculty and staff without a meal plan can also purchase a meal with cash or card.
  • Harper Dining Hall provides a performance plate menu including fresh vegetables, salad options, fruits, starches or carbohydrates, and lean proteins. (Some Bluejay favorites include the smoothies and yogurt bar.) For those with meal plans, each meal is one swipe + 2 dining dollars. Students, faculty and staff without a meal plan can also purchase a meal with cash or card.

Skutt Student Center dining

The newly renovated Wareham Court in the Skutt Student Center includes restaurant favorites and on-the-go options. Specifically, it offers full menus from Qdoba and Firehouse Subs, as well as your favorite dishes from Mein Bowl and Hissho Sushi. You’ll also find Jack and Ed’s Marketplace, the perfect choice for grab-and-go meals, drinks, beverages and snacks.

Starbucks

Located in the Skutt Student Center and Harper Center, our two Starbucks locations are here to fuel your study needs. You can access the complete Starbucks menu—including seasonal favorites—with your dining dollars or other payment methods.

McGloin Market

Located on the lower level of McGloin Hall, McGloin Market is the place to go for a quick meal or snack. It features hot Godfather’s Pizza, Simply-To-Go meals, Eat Fit Go meals, take-and-bake frozen items, snacks, sweet treats, and beverages, as well as some convenience items.

Choosing Your Meal Plan

Creighton offers several meal plan options that allow you to eat in the dining hall and use dining dollars via your Creighton ID, which can be used at any retail dining location on campus. While the cost of each meal plan is the same, the number of dining hall visits and dining dollars are different on each plan.

All on-campus residents will be automatically enrolled in a meal plan. A student’s meal plan enrollment and options can be changed in NEST the first full week of classes each semester. However, note that meal plans are required for all first- and second-year students living on campus. Students who live off-campus are also eligible to enroll in a meal plan.

  • 10-Meal Plan: Ten meals per week at a Creighton dining hall, $1,000 dining dollars and five guest passes for family or friends per semester
  • 14-Meal Plan: Fourteen meals per week at a Creighton dining hall, $600 dining dollars and five guest passes for family or friends per semester
  • All Access: Unlimited number of meal swipes per week at a Creighton dining hall (student use only), $200 dining dollars and five guest passes for family or friends per semester
  • Apartment 7-Meal Plan: Seven meals per week, $700 dining dollars and 5 guest passes for family or friends per semester (available to student living in apartment-style housing)

Commuter students can choose from two flex meal plans. Commuter plans can be purchased at any point during the semester, and students can purchase another flex meal plan after all meals have been used.

  • Flex-85: This meal plan allows the holder 85 meals per semester. They will also receive $420 dining dollars to utilize at any of our retail locations throughout the semester.
  • Flex-65: This meal plan allows the holder 65 meals per semester. They will also receive $350 dining dollars to utilize at any of our retail locations throughout the semester.
