The Dining Hall is one of our students’ favourite experiences at College. There is a unique etiquette that exists in the dining hall which you can learn more about here.
Three meals are served daily, including holidays. All meals are covered by College fees. Every meal includes at least one hot meal option, a vegetarian dish, salad bar, and bread selection. Items are rotated regularly and interspersed with different themes to provide variety.

After Hours Meals
Students are welcome to grab and go breakfast items if they have early classes or work commitments. Similarly, ingredients are available first thing in the morning and during breakfast hours for residents to make and take-away lunches.
Anyone unable to attend dinner at the designated time can order a packed, take-away meal for pick-up from the dining hall using the My SJC app.
Formal Dinners
Formal dinners are held in the dining hall once per week during the semester.
Students wear their academic gowns and most weeks a special guest speaker addresses everyone in attendance on a topic related to their area of interest. Some of the past speakers can be found here.
