About Your Meal Plan
What’s in an all-you-care-to-eat meal plan?
An all-you-care-to-eat meal plan unlocks wholesome meals, coffee, snacks, and more at Concordia University’s two dining halls: the one in the Grey Nuns Building at the Sir George Williams campus and the Buzz in the SC Building on the Loyola campus.
Whether you’re enjoying a meal with friends or snacking on the go, you’ll reap multiple benefits from your meal plan.

- Full and convenient access: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as snacks, freshly ground Fairtrade coffee, Fairtrade tea, as well as a wide selection of cold beverages

Mandatory meal plans
Meal plans are mandatory for first-year students who live in residences on campus. Students can eat in dining halls on both campuses.

Living off campus comes with its own needs and challenges. Student commuters in the surrounding areas are offered meal plans with flexibility, convenience and savings in mind.

No need to carry cash. The plan is registered on your student ID card.

The cashier simply swipes your card and every purchase is deducted from your balance.

Nuts and nut bio-products in our dining facilities
While we will not use peanuts, nuts or peanut/nut bi-products in our recipes, ready-to-serve products or ingredients, or in the kitchen, Concordia Food Services does not operate in an allergen- and peanut/nut-free environment. As a result, we cannot guarantee that food served in the dining halls has not become cross-contaminated with allergens, including nuts and peanuts.
Self-identified or diagnosed allergies, intolerances or restrictions
Upon registering, you must email ask.dietician@concordia.ca to inform Concordia Food Services of food allergies, intolerances, restrictions and/or dietary preferences so you can take part in a consultation session with our registered dietitian to determine whether the mandatory meal plan is a suitable option.
The consultation session with our registered dietitian will cover:
- An assessment of dietary-specific needs
- A preliminary menu plan with alternatives where possible
- Whether accommodations can be made, depending on the nature and severity of those allergies and/or preferences
How we keep you safe during COVID-19
Rest assured that Concordia University and Concordia Food Services follow guidance from public health to ensure your safety and that of our staff remains paramount.
