Off-Campus Students, Faculty, and Staff
Faculty, staff and guests are welcome to join us at any of our on-campus dining halls. If you have an i-card, the easiest way to join us is to use Illini Cash on your card. You may also use a credit card or department charge accounts at any of our on-campus dining halls. If you plan to dine with us often, a meal plan is a great value (please note that the meal plan will begin on the Monday following the purchase of the meal plan).
