Graceland University provides exciting and innovative dining services for the entire Graceland community.
With two locations to choose from, Graceland provides the campus community with conveniently located dining options that are central to the main campus and provide a variety of options for all kinds of tastes.
Dining on campus is the ultimate social experience – essential to campus life. Gather with friends, take a study break, hang out, relax, or unwind after a hard day of classes and activities. Whatever reason or needs, Graceland has a dining option for you.
Campus Life
Through its partnership with Sodexo, Graceland offers students and visitors two distinct dining options – a residential dining hall and an on-the-go diner for more casual fare.
The Floyd M. McDowell Commons gives Graceland students a traditional dining hall experience with a wide variety of options for each meal. Complete with a salad bar, hot grill entrées, and many other fresh food choices designed to satisfy everyone's appetite.

The Swarm in the Newcom Student Union is a popular dining option for many of our students. With a grill serving burgers and a Sub Hub, students can grab any meal here using their meal exchange or GBUCK$.

Conveniently located campus options
In order to meet your campus dining needs, we have designed the following meal plans for you.
Please note: meal plan changes can only be made and will only be accepted during the first week of regularly scheduled classes during fall and spring semesters.
Dining Dollars is our on campus dining program that allows you to use your student ID card in place of cash at either the Commons or Swarm Inn for food purchases. There is a 20% Enrichment or bonus for purchases of $40.00 or more. Dining Dollars also make the perfect addition to any of our Meal Plans and work great for commuter and off campus students who want the flexibility to dine on campus between classes or when hanging out with friends. Please call 641.784.5339 with questions!
GBUCKS, is our on and off campus dining program where you are in complete control. It allows you to eat on or off campus using your Student ID Card. Using your GBUCKS on campus will save you 10% off every purchase allowing your dining dollar to stretch a little further. There are no limits to the amount of GBUCKS that can be purchased!
