Tips and Reminders
During peak hours, plan for longer wait times at popular spots like the Suwannee Room, Chick-fil-A, and Starbucks. As everyone settles into their routine, wait times will decrease. In the meantime, here are tips to save time and navigate campus dining this semester:
- Garnet & Go App: (powered by Transact Mobile Ordering): Order from most campus dining locations and check estimated wait times. Plus, earn points to redeem for Seminole Dining swag, exclusive experiences, and more!
- Starbucks App: Earn and redeem stars when ordering for pick up from the Student Union, Dirac Science Library, or Starbucks Pick Up at 1851.
- Panera Bread App: Order ahead and earn rewards for pickup in the Student Union.
Grab Meals to Go: Use an Ozzi reusable container in both dining halls to enjoy your meal anywhere on campus.
- Meal plan holders get one free container per academic year, and non-meal plan holders can purchase one for $5 at either dining hall.
Discover "Hidden Gems": Visit Seminole Café, 1851 Food Hall, and The Den for shorter lines
Convenience Stores: Stop by the Trading Post and the POD for snacks and quick options like sandwiches, salads, and more, plus a variety of bottled beverages.
All Seminole Dining locations are cashless. Payments can be made with Dining Dollars, debit/credit cards, FSUCash, mobile payments, and, where applicable, Meal Swipe and Cash Equivalency Swipe.
FSU Round Up
Add a little, change a lot - Support students facing food insecurity by adding 25 cents or more to your purchase during checkout at any of our dining locations. All donations go directly to the FSU Food for Thought Pantry, open to all currently enrolled students.
Farmers Market
Visit the Farmers Market twice a month at the Integration Statue to discover a variety of fresh, locally sourced produce, baked goods, and more!
