I have special dietary needs (intolerance, allergy, religious, etc.), can Viking Dining accommodate my needs?
Yes! Within both Marsh Dining & North Campus Café, students can access Simple Zone; our gluten, tree nut, and peanut free food pantry.
All allergens that appear in each item served in the dining halls are listed in multiple places for guests to view before consumption; on our online menu, on signage prior to entering the dining halls, posted on each food station, and listed on the TV menu screens above each food station. If for some reason you cannot view the allergens on our menu, please talk with a Viking Dining chef about the contents in each items before consuming. Depending on the item, our chefs can prepare you dishes with substitutions or changes if you need (i.e. a burger without cheese, quesadilla without chicken/meat, etc). Please do not hesitate to talk with our staff! We want to make sure you enjoy your experience when dining with us.
Registered Dietitian Olivia Batryn, MS, RDN, LDN is available upon request to meet with you individually if you would like to discuss dining strategies and what our team can offer. To schedule an appointment with Olivia, you can click here or e-mail her at olivia.batryn@sodexo.com. If your special dietary need requires more attention, we would recommend speaking directly with Olivia and also reaching out to the Salem State University Disability Services team.

What is the difference between Dining Dollars and ClipperCash?
Dining Dollars are funds that come with your purchase of select meal plans. They can be used for payment at any of our dining locations. Any unused Dining Dollars are forfeited at the close of the academic year. ClipperCash works as a pre-paid debit card account that can be used for purchases both on and off campus wherever the ClipperCard is accepted. ClipperCash does not expire.
How do I add more Clipper Cash?
Your ClipperCard account can be managed online 24/7 using the GET app. Download the GET Mobile Android App or GET Mobile IOS App to any smartphone or visit our mobile site and sign in using your Navigator login.
For more information about the GET App and managing your ClipperCard, please visit the Salem State University website to learn more.
