Dining at Grace
From classes to sports to clubs to community service—at college, you’ve got plenty on your mind. Campus Dining at Grace College has worked hard to make sure that you won’t have to worry about finding something great to eat when you want it. We’ve designed meal plans and eating establishments that are certain to meet your individual needs.
Meal Plans
Meals Plans at Grace College offer a wide range of options, so you can find one that best meets your dining needs. Scans and flex dollars can be used at Alpha Dining Commons, SubHub, Lancer Coffee Shop Starbuck’s, and the Campus Store.
Grace Food Services offers six meal plans. If current students do not make a selection, you will automatically be placed on and billed for the equivalent Meal Plan you had the last semester.
