THE SACK MEAL PROGRAM provides residents with a 'to go' meal option when classes or employment conflict with a student's ability to eat a meal in the dining commons. Sack meals are available to valid meal plan holders and are ordered online the night before a meal is needed. One location is available for meal pickups: Portola Dining Commons.

*Please note the closure dates in the table at right -- you will not be able to order a sack meal during those periods.
