UC Merced Dining Services is thrilled to welcome new students to campus, as well as serve those students, faculty, staff and visitors returning to campus with our delicious variety of dining and retail options. Dining Services is working diligently to respond to a very dynamic situation, and we would like to let everyone know the latest about retail locations and dining on campus:

Dining Services thanks you for your support and patience during the pandemic. Staffing shortages and supply chain delays have impacted our operations, and our dedicated dining staff are working hard to meet campus needs. Menu substitutions may take place that are not reflected on our online menus. We continue to work to ensure the best experience for all our guests.
Thank you for being part of the UC Merced campus community. We’re happy you’re here! Please contact Dining Services at dining@ucmerced.edu with any dining questions.
