A full-service cafeteria is open to students, faculty, staff, and the general public. Hours are posted on the Iḷisaġvik website. Each year, students work with kitchen staff to review and revise the menu to ensure the kitchen serves culturally appropriate and appetizing meals.
Student Meal Plans
All meals are served in the cafeteria for dine-in or to go. The meal plans vary based on the level chosen, and the cafeteria serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday through Saturday: and brunch and dinner on Sundays. “To- go” meals are a regular portion size. With advance notice, the dining staff can serve meals in a “to-go” container for students who have classes after closing time or under special circumstances for students who cannot be in the dining room during the regular meal hours.
Only the individual student may use his or her card. Students may not share their meal card with anyone. All purchases in addition to current meal venue will be charged cash. These additional purchases cannot be placed on a meal card.
