Whether you’re craving a made-to-order sandwich, a salad, or one of our signature house creations, we are sure to have something on the menu you’re guaranteed to love. Our rotating specialty concepts offer everything from comfort food to healthy options to global specialties—and everything in between.
After dining, all diners are asked to return plates and utensils to the dish room window.
The student I.D. is used as a student’s meal card/debit card. A student MUST complete meal transactions with their valid I.D.
There are limited options for students who forget to bring an I.D. for dining hall transactions:
Pay cash for the meal.
Have another student, who has a card with sufficient Dining Dollars, pay for the meal or use a guest meal (limit of three guest meals per semester).
Retrieve the I.D. card and return for dining hall entry.
Purchase a new Ferrum College identification card.
During inclement weather when classes are canceled or delayed, the dining hall hours will be adjusted.
If all classes are canceled, the dining hall will open at 10 a.m.
If classes are delayed, the dining hall will open one hour prior to the start of classes.
On days when classes are canceled or delayed, the dining hall may close at 6 p.m. based on employee availability.
Ferrum College Dining Services Overview
Meal Swipes: Students can use one meal swipe per meal period, per day in the Dining Hall. If you prefer, you may also use your meal swipe at Panther Pizzeria, Boars Head Chopping Block, or Panther Grounds for meal combos instead of in the dining hall during regular meal hours.
Guest Meals: Each student receives 3 guest meals per semester. These can be used to treat friends or family at any of our dining locations.
Dining Dollars: Every student on a residential meal plan receives $200 in dining dollars per semester. Dining dollars can be used at any dining location, including the Byte Coolers. If you run out, additional dining dollars can be purchased at the Business Office.
Enjoy the flexibility and variety that Ferrum College and Metz Dining Services offers!
