Simply present your Wartburg ID to the checker between 6:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. in the Mensa, Monday through Friday. A set-up will be provided to properly package and transport your meal. For weekend meals, prior arrangements must be made with the Dining Services Office. Groups and organizations requesting sack meal exchanges must make arrangements with the Dining Services Office. 

Orders must be placed by NOON at least 4 full business days before the date of pick up. Saturdays and Sundays are not counted as business days due to the Dining Office not being open.
