Dear AU Colleagues,  

We are pleased to announce our fall 2024 faculty and staff dining options. These options are the result of improvement work and collaboration with you over the past few years.  

Faculty and Staff Meal Plan Offerings  

We invite our faculty and staff members to take advantage of our brand-new Terrace Dining Room (TDR) and great retail options by purchasing a faculty and staff meal plan. You can find more information about these plans online here. All plans are available to purchase at the One Card Office on the first floor of the Mary Graydon Center (MGC) room 123. This year, we are offering two types of meal plans:  

• Build Your Own Plans: These are traditional, paid in advance, semester-long plans offered as the $595 Build Your Own Plan and the $800 Build Your Own Plan. The two plans offer different increments of dining dollars and TDR swipes. Both plans are great options for those who like to eat two or more meals a week in our dining venues.  
• Monthly Meal Plans: New for this year, we will offer a more flexible monthly plan option, which would be paid in advance at the beginning of each month. The monthly meal plan is available in $230, $155, or $100 options. Each option contains different numbers of TDR meal swipes and dining dollars. Plans are available for September, October, and November and are a great option for those who like to eat less than two meals a week in our dining venues.  

University Club 

Starting September 3, the new University Club (U-Club) is open this semester Monday to Thursday every week from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Reservations are required via Open Table, where payment must be made in advance using credit card or debit card (we are working to add functionality for Eaglebucks and Dining Dollars soon). Seatings are limited to 75 minutes or less to ensure that multiple seatings are available. The price per person is $19.00, which includes sales tax. The U-Club is open to faculty and staff only, and all guests must be over the age of 18. Students, including student employees, may be brought as guests of a faculty or staff member. You can find more information, including Open Table booking instructions, daily menus, and the U-Club rules here.  

Terrace Dining Room Special Offers  

• 10% Anytime Discount: Faculty and staff can present their AU ID Card at any time for a 10 percent discount on the regular door rates at TDR. The discount is not valid for guests.  
• $10.99 Wednesday Lunch Special: Every Wednesday, we welcome the community to the newly renovated TDR for lunch at a special $10.99 rate. The discount for guests.
