Zag Dining 101

If you are new to the Gonzaga community…welcome! If you are returning to campus this fall…welcome back!

At Zag Dining, we strive to give students the nourishment needed to succeed in school in a fresh, fun, community environment. Our comprehensive dining program offers quality, variety, convenience and varied meal plans to give each student the opportunity to choose the plan that is right for them. As incoming freshmen, your daughter or son will be picking a meal plan as part of their residency requirement. The vast majority of first year students opt for the flexibility of the unlimited plans, which allow them to focus on adjusting to college life, meeting new people, and successfully getting through their first semester. If your student is concerned about making the right meal plan choice, rest assured that unrestricted changes can be made through the first Friday of the fall semester.

Below we have listed and described all the campus dining locations that your student can take advantage of with their meal plan.
