Retreat Meals (Minimum of 15 students)
A retreat meal is a meal with paper products to go and intended to be used for trips and eating off campus. If you and a group of fellow residents are planning an outing and would like to take food with you, you may choose a retreat meal and we will have it packed and ready for you. Retreat forms are available at the cashier stations at Mesa Commons and Pippin. The retreat form and student meal card numbers must be turned in to the Dining Manager 72 hours prior to your event. Your group may order up to three retreat meals in combination with sack meals. Talk to friends or your RA and make plans to use this unique dining option. Retreat meals are not available during finals week. Retreat meal menus are viewable online at www.ucidining.com.
