Feel Better Food Pack

Campus Dining Sick Meal Policy

If you are too ill to go to the dining center for a meal, you may give your ID card and a note to a friend to take to a dining center. They will be able to swipe your card and pick up a take-out meal for you.

Feel Better Food Pack

If you are unwell, you should contact the Barnes Center at The Arch for medical assistance.

Students living in on-campus housing told to remain in their residence hall rooms because of flu-like symptoms may request a Feel Better Food Pack from Campus Dining. It consists of one day’s supply of items designed to help you get the nutrition you need while sick.

Feel Better Food Packs are available Monday through Friday. To request a Feel Better Food Pack, send an email to mealtalk@syr.edu each day that you need a meal pack. Include the following information:

  • Your name
  • Your SUID number
  • Campus housing location and room number
  • Your phone number
  • Any allergens or dietary restrictions

Emails must be received by 4:30 p.m. each day in order for deliveries to be made. Campus Dining will make deliveries to residence hall main desks. Depending on the severity of your illness, you can pick up your meal at the main desk or have a friend or your roommate get it for you. After meals are delivered, your meal plan will be charged for the meal.

If you need any additional assistance, please speak with any Student Living staff member.
