DINING

Wartburg College Dining Services strives to provide customers with great service, quality food, and convenience. Dining is more than just food—our locations offer inviting areas for students, staff, faculty, and guests to gather for meetings, have a meal together, and to relax.

Wartburg College is a residential campus. For this reason, Wartburg offers a variety of dining services that allow students flexibility and choice. Whether it’s eating a full-scale meal in Mensa, picking up a sandwich at the Den, or ordering specialty drinks at the Konditorei and Zesty Orange, dining services offers a variety of foods that are ready whenever you are. Students, both on and off campus, have meal plan options to accommodate their needs. Click the link below for more details.

We accommodate medically-required special dietary needs such as celiac disease, peanut and soy allergies, and diabetes. Visit with our dining staff on your next campus visit.

Food Plans

Wartburg College Dining Service offers 20 standard meals per week in Mensa, the all-you-care-to-eat dining facility. This includes breakfast, lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, and brunch and dinner on Sunday. In addition to Mensa, there are three quick service eateries on campus: the Den-Rittersaal, Konditorei (also a coffee house), and Zesty Orange. Times of service vary by location and days of the week; there are numerous ways and flexible times for students to eat. This helps accommodate busy student schedules.

On-Campus Students
All on-campus students are required to have a food plan. The plans are all the same price. The various food plan options offer different combinations of meals, points (dollars to spend on food items at any of the dining locations), and bonus meals (extra meals to use in Mensa for self or others).

Food plan weekly meals are tracked Sunday through Saturday and refresh each Sunday. Points and bonus meals are for the semester and get debited as they are used; they do not refresh each Sunday. Unused points (dollars with the plan) roll to the following semester as long as the student has a food plan, through the end of May term. In addition to eating in Mensa, students may use food plan meals to get sack lunches from Mensa or meals (called meal transfers) in the Den and Konditorei, on weekdays. Up to 5 food plan meals may be used in a day. Additional money in the form of All Campus Spending (ACS), can be added to any student account.

2023-24 Fall and Winter Term Meal Plans

Class status is determined by academic standing, not the number of years attended at Wartburg.

Changing the Food Plan
If a student would like to change their plan, the deadline is 4:30 p.m., on the first add/drop deadline of the term. Plan changes are made in the dining service central office (where ID pictures are taken). This allows students a little time at the start of the semester to see how their schedules work with the selected plan. Students may ask any dining cashier on campus, or stop in the dining central office, to check which plan they are on. In the event a student does not select a plan, the system will default to an 18-meal plan.

Off-Campus Students
Food plans are available to off-campus students. Students should stop in the dining service central office (where ID pictures are taken) for a list of plans and prices, and to sign up. The plan cost can be added to the student’s college bill. Off-campus students may also add All Campus Spending (ACS) to their account and use that to purchase food.

Type of Plan	Cost/Term	Meals/Week (Sun.-Sat.)	Points/Term	Bonus Meals/Term
Pick 15	$2,345	15	$125	6
Pick 12	$2,345	12	$200	6
Pick 6	$1,170	6	$130	4
Any 125	$1,170	125 meals per term	$100	N/A

Wartburg ID Card and All Campus Spending

Students, faculty, and staff at Wartburg College are issued Wartburg IDs. The ID card is for campus identification and service access. It provides access to buildings, the Wellness Center, food plans, All Campus Spending and the time clock system. The user is responsible for their card.ID cards are non-transferable and for the sole use of the cardholder. The ID card is the property of Wartburg College. A lost or stolen card should be reported immediately. Lending this card to anyone, or altering it in any way, is a violation of college regulations and may result in disciplinary action. If an ID card is damaged, cracked, worn from use, or stops working there is no charge to replace it. Bring the damaged card to the Dining Office. There is also no charge if a person needs to exchange their card due to a legal name change.

Temporary Card
If your ID card has been lost or stolen, a temporary card can be purchased for $5. Temporary ID cards are valid for a one-week time period. A temporary card may be used for food plan meals in Mensa only. The cost of a replacement card is $20. An old card cannot be reactivated once a new card has been made. If you have already purchased a temporary card, the cost to get a new ID card made will be the $15 difference.

New Card
Lost or stolen cards should be reported immediately to prevent use. This can be done in the Dining Office or online. The Dining Office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday. Report your ID lost via the GET website by clicking the “I Lost My Card” tab under “Quick Lines”. You must come into the Dining Office in order to get a temporary or new card. If you find your ID card before you get a replacement, you may reactivate your card by coming to the Dining Office, or by going onto the GET website and clicking the “I Found My Card” tab under “Quick Lines”.
