DINING SERVICES PROPERTY
China, silver, glassware, salt and pepper, food trays, and all other reusable dining service utensils and equipment have been purchased for use in the dining areas. They should not be removed for your personal use. Removal of such items only increases your board costs, as replacements must be paid for from your board payments. Theft of such items is in violation of University regulations and may result in judicial action.

LINES
Although we make every effort to ensure meal lines move rapidly, if a large group enters the dining hall at one time, we ask that you be patient and assist by having your meal card ready and making your choice of foods quickly. Please don't cut into lines. Whenever possible, please adjust your schedule to arrive during off-peak hours.

SPECIAL DIETARY CONSIDERATIONS
Accommodations for special dietary needs may be made and should be presented to the Dining Services director. Dietary requirements for religious reasons are given all possible consideration. Facilities, cost, and time guide the specific arrangements which will be made.
