Alferd Packer Grill in the UMC is open to all students, faculty and staff this semester. Guests can purchase a meal with Campus Cash ($8.25 plus tax) or credit cards ($12.25 plus tax) that includes either one entree and two sides or four sides. We are not able to offer a la carte items in APG at this time, however the UMC market is open for a la carte purchases. You can view menus on the Nutrislice website and app, including breakfast items, sandwiches and burgers from the grill and the Daily Dish special. Vegetarian and vegan options are available.

Students living in the residence halls will be able to access all Campus Dining Services locations. Dining Centers and grab-n-gos will accept meal swipes and cafes and retail markets will accept Munch Money, Campus Cash and credit/debit cards. Starbucks will accept Campus Cash or credit/debit cards.

Bear Creek students and students living off campus can use Campus Cash or credit/debit cards at Alferd Packer Grill, cafes and markets. 

Dining options for staff and faculty

Staff and faculty will be able to use Campus Cash or credit/debit cards to visit Alferd Packer Grill, retail markets and cafes once they open for the semester. For full hours and information about other locations opening, visit the dining locations and hours page. 

Use the Get Mobile app to pay with Campus Cash

Anyone with an IdentiKey can now make contactless Campus Cash payments at campus dining locations with the Get Mobile app. Search for the Get Mobile app in your app store. In the app, search for the University of Colorado Boulder with the “search all institutions” button, and then sign in using your IdentiKey. Once you’ve signed in, the app will display your Campus Cash balance, and give you a QR code that you can use to make contactless payments for meals at dining locations that accept Campus Cash. Visit the Buff OneCard site to add money to your Campus Cash balance. 

Order ahead using Nutrislice

You can order your meal ahead of time for pick up at The Alley at Farrand, CU on the Run, Farrand Market, Sewall, SEEC Cafe and WeatherTech Cafe. Meal plan holders can use the Nutrislice app or the Nutrislice website to place orders at any of the grab-n-gos, and then pay ahead of time with a meal swipe. All students, faculty and staff can use Nutrislice to order meals ahead at SEEC and the WeatherTech, pay with Campus Cash or Munch Money within the app and schedule pick-up. 

To download the app, search for Nutrislice through your phone or tablet’s application platform.
