Where to Eat

There are several meals planned throughout Commencement Weekend through Notre Dame Campus Dining. These meals require the purchase of a meal ticket in advance.  

Student meal plans will remain active through lunch on Friday, May 19.  

In addition to ticketed events, several departments will be offering events that may involve a lighter fare. You may want to review the full Schedule of Events to see what other activities involve your graduating student.
