DINE-IN (COMING SOON!)
South Campus Dining Hall & The Diner
Once dining in is approved, you will be able to make
a reservation to visit South Campus Dining Hall or
The Diner (in the Ellicott Community) if you wish to
dine in for your meal. Reservations are necessary after
10:00 am every day to be sure everyone can maintain
physical distancing. Please wear your mask and sanitize
your hands at the door. Swipe in using a biometric
reader, and follow the floor markers through the serving
area. Seat yourself at an open table and enjoy your meal!
You are welcome to get seconds—please replace your
mask and follow the floor markers through the servery
and back to your table. When you’re done with your
meal, replace your mask and take your plates to the
accumulator so that we can compost and recycle in
our dish room.
RESERVATIONS
Reservations are timed to control the flow of guests
through the dining hall during busy periods and to
allow our guests to dine more safely. They are only
required if you choose to dine in at either The Diner
or South Campus Dining Hall.
Reservations are made using the free GET Mobile app.
The first time you open the app, select “University of
Maryland - College Park” and login using your UMD
account. Once setup, any time you wish to dine in,
open the app, select the location and time, and you’re
good to go! You can make a reservation as early as the
week before, and we won’t close reservations until that
time slot is full. If you’re walking past a dining hall and
want to go in for a meal, check your phone, there might
be a seat available—make a reservation and come on in.
We are sure you will find good food whenever you
join us, but to ensure you find your favorite foods
when they’re on the menu, we strongly suggest visiting
nutrition.umd.edu in advance to see what we’re
serving and where.
*Hours subject to change, and may be modified during exam week,
for university holidays, during the summer, and in the event of emergencies.
Check dining.umd.edu for updates.
