Frequently Asked Questions about Capital's Dining Services
Q: Can I really eat as much as I want?
A: You can eat as many servings as you want of everything we serve in the Capital Court Dining Room. But we ask that you respect our three rules:
- Once you leave the dining area, do not re-enter it until the next meal period.
- Consume all your food and beverage item(s) inside the Capital Court.
- Take only one entree at a time and eat it before you return for seconds.
The third rule was designed to help us minimize waste and keep meal prices as low as possible for you.
If you're watching what you eat, or if you're not that hungry, we'd be happy to serve you half portions. Just let your server know.
Q: What if I forget my ID card?
A: If you're a traditional student and forget to bring your card, you'll have to get a temporary card from the Office of Residence Life. If you're a commuter student, get a temporary card from the Dining Services Office.
Q: I'm going to be eating a lot of meals in the Capital Court over the next four years. How are you going to keep me from getting bored?
A: We're always planning mouth-watering ways to surprise you. Every month, we organize Theme Meals and special culinary events to add variety to our already varied and ever-changing menu.
Q: My brother/mom/girlfriend is coming to visit next weekend. Can he or she come to eat with me in the Capital Court?
A: You are always welcome to bring a friend, sibling or parent to dine in the Capital Court. Meal prices are posted by the cash register near the entrance. Your guest(s) can pay in cash; or, if you want to treat, you can pay for the extra meal(s) using your Flex Dollar account.
