De-densifying Residence Halls
Residence halls have been de-densified by temporarily converting doubles without semi-private restrooms to singles and triples/quads without semi-private restrooms to doubles. Residency requirement for all First Year and Second Year and new students have been lifted to help voluntarily reduce the numbers on campus.
Guest Privileges
Guest privileges have been suspended until further notice. Resident students are not permitted to host off-campus guests (including family and friends) in their room, apartment, or building. Additionally, resident students can only visit other residents live within the same building or tower. Example: A resident that lives on Fickes 1st Floor cannot have a guest from Dilworth. However, they can host a resident from Fickes 2nd Floor.
Lounges and Community Spaces
Lounges and community spaces in the residence halls and Chatham Apartments may be closed or have occupancy restrictions imposed. Residents must adhere to lounge/community spaces closures and any posted occupancy restrictions at all times. See FAQ below for information on community kitchens.
Hours of Operation
For the latest hours of operation by location, please visit the Dining Page on MyChatham.
Safety Precautions
In order to promote safety in the dining areas, a number of changes are being put into place.
Mobile and Grocery Ordering
Mobile orders can be placed from 11:00am-5:30pm (last pick up is 6:00pm) Friday, and Monday-Thursday 11:00am-7:30pm (last pick up is 8:00pm). Pick up locations are at Anderson or Cafe Rachel.
"How-to's" can be found on my.chatham under Dining Services documents.
Merchants labeled "meal swipes" will accept student meal swipes or faculty/staff meals. Merchants labeled "declining balance" will accept student FLEX or cougar dollars.
Students, faculty or staff are able to purchase groceries through us and schedule a contact-less pickup. This is available at all 3 campuses. A "How-to" for placing grocery orders can be found here on my.chatham. As a reminder, students can use up to 2 meal swipes ($16)/week towards groceries.
**If you do not receive an email confirmation from any of the ordering options above (groceries or mobile), we do not have your order, and a step may have been missed in the process.
Satellite Dining Locations at Shadyside Campus
Welker Room is available for eating and studying. Café Rachel will have vegan & gluten-free entrée options available by request in the Pick-3 Program. Cafe Rachel only offers espresso beverages and serve as a Pick-3 location for a meal swipe. All seating has been removed, and the entrance/exit and traffic patterns have been adjusted.
Family Style To-Go Meals
We offer a number of to-go family style meals for Students, Faculty, and Staff. Students are permitted to use 2 meal swipes ($16) towards Family Style Meals; otherwise, credit cards are accepted. Menus are available on Instagram or Facebook. Pickup available at Shadyside Campus or Eden Hall Campus. Check your email for details throughout the semester.
In the event the University must close the residence halls and terminate a housing contract or lease before the end of term due to a public health crisis, like COVID-19, students would be expected to vacate housing by a set deadline the Office of Residence Life provides them. Chatham will offer pro-rated room and board credits/reimbursements for impacted students as appropriate and based on available information. This applies to students living in on-campus housing and students placed in leased off-campus apartments at 600 South Highland and 6236 Fifth Avenue.
Room occupancy has only been reduced in residence halls rooms that utilize a communal bathroom on the floor. Room occupancy remains the same the apartments because they have their own semi-private bathroom. Each apartment houses 2 to 3 students who share the living room, kitchen, and bathroom with each other. Students living in a one-bedroom apartment or in the double bedroom in a 2-bedroom apartment share their bedroom with a roommate.
No, masks will not be required when you are inside your residence hall room or apartment, but they are required in all public spaces. This includes residence hall and apartment stairwells, hallways, laundry rooms, community kitchens, lounges/community spaces, and communal bathrooms. Masks must be worn outside when 6 feet of physical distancing cannot be maintained.
