Continental Breakfast—Saturday & Sunday

Regular meals served in the dining hall as part of the meal plans include breakfast, lunch & dinner from Monday – Friday and brunch & dinner on Saturday & Sunday.

We understand that some students would like the option of early breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to the work of the Student Government Association, the College has added a Continental Breakfast from 9 – 10:30 a.m. Saturdays & Sundays. Because this is not part of the meals included in the meal plan, there is a $5.00 cash or Landmark Points entry fee required for entry to these continental breakfasts.

Unused Points

Unused Landmark Points automatically roll over to the next semester or will be refunded if the student is not returning.

Unused Dining Dollars expire on graduation day for each semester.
