Dining Information

Dining Locations

Sodexo Dining is our dining services vendor.  They manage the Marketplace Cafeteria, located in Rogers Hall, as well as our retail options on the first floor of the College Union.  Those retail locations include Bear Necessities, Jazzman’s Café, The Grille, and Sandella’s Flatbread Cafe.

West Liberty University will be transitioning our dining services to Aladdin Food Services on July 1, 2022.  Additional information on changes to retail locations, meal options, and other relevant updates will be included on this page.  Communication will be sent to students via email and through our social media as well.

Meal Times

There are four meal times each weekday, and students can utilize up to three meals selecting from these four options. For example, if you can utilize your meals at Breakfast and Lunch, and if you miss dinner, there is a late night option to fill that third meal of the day.  The meal times are:

  • Breakfast: 7:30am – 11:00am
  • Lunch: 11:00am – 4:00pm
  • Dinner: 4:00pm – 8:00pm
  • Late Night Meal: 8:00pm – 11:00pm

Residential Student Meal Plans

All residential students are required to have a full meal plan if they live in a residence hall.  Residents in Topper Towers, University Place I Apartments, University Place II Apartments, Topper Village, the Commons Apartments, or student houses are permitted to opt into a 5 meal plan.  Graduate students are not required to have a meal plan no matter where they are living on campus.

All three “full” meal plan options have the same cost.  Options include:

  • 19 Meal Plan (19 meals per week with $100 “Sodexo Dollars” per semester)
  • 14 Meal Plan (14 meals per week with $200 “Sodexo Dollars” per semester)
  • 12 Meal Plan (12 meals per week with $300 “Sodexo Dollars” per semester)
  • 5 Meal Plan option (5 meals per week with $100 “Sodexo Dollars” per semester) – limited to apartments, houses, and graduate students

Commuter Student Meal Plans

Commuter students can select a meal plan through the online form.  Options include:

  • 12 Meal Plan (12 meals per week with $300 “Sodexo Dollars” per semester)
  • 5 Meal Plan option (5 meals per week with $100 “Sodexo Dollars” per semester)
  • 50 Meal Block Plan (50 meals throughout the entire semester, no “Sodexo Dollars” included)

What are “Sodexo Dollars”?

This money is a declining balance on your Topper Card that can be used in any Sodexo location.  This includes the Marketplace Cafeteria, Jazzman’s Café, Sandella’s Flatbread Café, Wow Grille, and most items in Bear Necessities.  Sodexo Dollars can also be used in food vending machines throughout campus.  Sodexo Dollars can be used through the student’s Topper ID Card.

Sodexo Dollars will carry over from fall semester to spring semester for residential students who live on campus both semesters. At the end of the spring semester, any remaining dollars are forfeited.  Sodexo usually offers bulk purchasing options or specialty purchasing options in the last few weeks of school to help students utilize Sodexo dollars, such as gift baskets or cases of water.  Sodexo Dollars are not carried over for commuter meal options.

Topper Dollars

Topper Dollars consists of money that you add to your account. This can be done easily online through an eAccount.  You can add money to this account at any time.  Topper Dollars can be utilized at any Sodexo retail location or in the Marketplace.  Additionally, Topper Dollars can be used in the Bookstore, Subway, most vending machines, all laundry facilities, and for Library fines.

College Union Retail locations

Retail locations include Bear Necessities Store, The Grille, Jazzman’s Café, and Sandella’s Flatbread Café.  In these locations, students are able to use their meal plan for part of their meal. Both lunch and dinner have a specified “meal equivalency amount” ($5.50 for all retail locations). The remaining cost of their purchases can be paid with Sodexo Dollars, Topper Dollars, cash, or credit/debit card.  For example, if a student buys $6.00 worth of food at Slice of Life, they can use their lunch meal to pay for the first $5.50; then they can pay the remaining fifty cents with their Sodexo dollars.

Marketplace Carryout Options

During any meal in the Marketplace students are permitted to ask for “to go” boxes from the cashier when you enter the Marketplace, instead of dining there.  If students have already eaten in the Marketplace, they are not permitted to take “to go” boxes as well. Students are not permitted to use their own food or beverage containers to take any item from the Marketplace for sanitary purposes.
