What You Should Know

Serve Stations

All stations in on-campus restaurants will be served by one of Dining Services’ associates, including salad bars, dessert stations and similar items. Dining Services will continue to offer robust customization at these stations, but self-service has been removed for guest safety.

Compostable Containers

All dining hall take-out meals are served in compostable take-out packaging. These containers add convenience for guests who would like to dine on the go.

Online Ordering

New online ordering will be available utilizing the Grub Hub app in select retail restaurants across campus. Students will be able to set up their ECU 1Card as a tender of payment by going to the settings tab and clicking campus dining. Save $3 off your first order with the code SNACK.

CAMPUS LIVING

---

Residence halls opened Jan. 14, with students in single rooms. A PCR test was required for residential students prior to their return to campus, and ongoing surveillance testing will be required throughout the spring semester.

Learn more about entry and ongoing surveillance testing plans and isolation and quarantine housing — and get the latest updates for residential students on the COVID-19 and Campus Living webpage.

Since the West End NSO is closed, where do I get my mail?

Students may collect their mail at the College Hill NSO in Ballard East. A special Transit route from West End to College Hill on the quarter hour will allow you to easily get to College Hill to pick up a meal, stop by the NSO, collect packages and more.

What is ECU doing to make residence halls safer?

The new testing plan and single occupancy in halls both will help keep Pirate Nation safer. The buildings will not be as occupied, so maintaining distance in restrooms and elevators will be easier. Housekeeping staff have additional cleaning guidelines to follow. Soap dispensers and sanitizer stations are available throughout buildings. Guests at residence halls are restricted — no overnight guests, no guests in the halls.

How can I safely connect with other Campus Living students?

Residents received an email with Facebook links for their particular building so you can check in with fellow residents, learn about programs and activities and build connections with other students. When meeting face to face, wear your mask. Make good decisions about building a “bubble” for yourself — gathering only with a few friends at a time who are also following safety guidelines.
