At Canisius University, we believe food should fuel your body, support your well-being, and bring people together. That’s why we’ve partnered with Chartwells Higher Ed to deliver a dining experience that’s about more than just great meals—it’s about community, sustainability, and choice.
With five unique dining locations across campus—including a full-service Tim Hortons—you’ll find everything from fresh, made-to-order meals to quick snacks between classes. Whether you're fueling up for a big exam or grabbing lunch with friends, our dining team is here to serve up quality, variety, and care.

Meal Swipes: Give you access to the all-you-care-to-eat Social House dining hall. They expire at the end of each semester.
Griff Bucks: Tax-free campus dining currency that rolls over from fall to spring and expires in May.
Griff Choice: Campus and select off-campus currency (including vending, bookstore, and library); taxed on dining and refunded after graduation.
Meal Exchange: Use a meal swipe to get a full meal (entrée, side, drink) at on-campus retail locations instead of the dining hall. Best for full meals, not snacks.
