NCTA Food Services

It is required that students living in the Residence Halls purchase the Meal Plan at the cafeteria. There are three plans offered by the cafeteria that range from 14 to 23 meals per week. In addition, meal cards can also be used at the campus Deli. No meals are served the evening preceding a vacation period.

The cafeteria, located in the lower level of the East Residence Hall, offers a variety of food choices for each of the three meals offered daily. If you wish, you may check out the current menu for this week. The cafeteria offers full menus including a variety of entrees, a salad bar, soft-serve ice cream, soft drinks, juices and milk. Breads and desserts complete the menu choices.

Occasionally a student cannot eat in the cafeteria due to schedule conflicts, illness, travel or time constraints. In the case of sickness, sick trays may be obtained through the Residence Hall Managers. As for field trips, or schedule conflicts (class or work), sack lunches will be available. The cafeteria staff asks that you give advance notice if you wish to obtain a sack lunch by calling them at 367-5246.

Dining at the NCTA Cafeteria is not limited to those students who live on campus. Off-campus students may purchase meal plans as well.

Some students need a four-course meal to get them through their full class loads. Others open their eyes with a simple bottle of soda or a candy bar before having their minds opened in class. Still others carefully plan their meals just as seriously as they plan their careers. Whatever your personal approach to eating - everyone at NCTA finds a time, a place and a menu to enrich their bodies while enriching their minds. Whether it’s a hamburger from the local cafe, a vending machine snack or a well-balanced meal, there’s a wide variety of choices to please any palate.
