Dining Plan Calendar
This spring has been a challenging time for everyone – for us at the University and for you at home – as we all make plans for fall.
We are continuing to adapt our plans for fall to be really sure we are serving up great Maryland Dining in the safest way possible. Our focus will be to provide the best experience possible this fall.
This page is one of your best resources as you seek to understand what your fall 2020 dining will include and we update this page whenever we have more to share.
