Dining Services
Christopher Newport sets the standard for college dining – from our friendly and welcoming staff to our exceptional facilities. We offer food choices for every taste, and vegan and heart-healthy choices are always available.
You’ll get used to words like "hot off the grill" and "garden fresh" while you’re here. You’ll never want to skip a meal!
Dining Plans
We offer several dining plans to fit the needs of every student. Fall 2025 Dining Plans will begin August 23, 2025 with the Dinner Meal.

Dining Dollars

Getting Your Dining Plan
Dining plan changes must be received by 5 pm on Friday during the first week of classes either semester.
Dining plan changes are allowed between semesters (fall to spring).
You must pay for the dining plan by the payment deadline or at the time you add/increase a dining plan whichever is later. Payments may be made online via CNU Live; by check mailed to the Cashier's Office; or in person at the Cashier’s Office, Christopher Newport Hall, First Floor.
