Sick Trays

If a student living in the residence halls does not feel well enough to go to a dining center to eat, there are 2 options for students. Both options require a friend, roommate, or hall staff member to assist in bringing food to the student's room.

1. Traditional Sick Tray
If you are not feeling well, ask a friend, roommate, or hall staff member to go to a dining center and bring a small meal back to your room; your friend will select the meal from the daily menu. 

• You will need to complete a Sick Tray Form which is available from your RA (or other hall staff) or at any dining center checkstand. 
• Have your roommate present the completed form and your student ID to the dining center staff and they will swipe the ID and deduct 1 meal from your meal plan.  The roommate will also need to present their ID card for verification purposes.
• Return the tray/dishes to the dining center and your ID will be returned.
• You do NOT need to call ahead to pick up a traditional sick tray.

2. Flu Fighter Kits
If you have the flu, it is important to keep hydrated and eat smaller meals. Instead of a traditional sick tray, your friend, roommate or hall staff may bring you a Flu-Fighter Kit, either KIT 1 (mostly liquids) or KIT 2 (liquids and more solids). 

• You will need to complete a Sick Tray Form which is available from your RA (or other hall staff) or at any dining center checkstand. 
• Indicate on the Sick Tray Form which kit you prefer. 
• Have your roommate present the completed form and your student ID to the dining center staff and they will swipe the ID.
• The flu fighter kits are intended to be enough for one day, so we will take two meal swipes for each kit.
• You do NOT need to call ahead to pick up either kit.
