UNIVERSITY DINING SERVICE/MEAL PLANS

Campus Dining Services has designed a comprehensive dining program that offers a computerized meal card system with the flexibility and convenience of several locations. The following is a list of meal plan options:

There are (6) meal plans offered for the 2007-2008 academic school year: Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Copper (lunch), Copper (dinner). Carte Blanche Dining Plans allows students unlimited access to the main dining room, the "Marketplace," during different times of the day and provides a certain amount of Dining Dollars to spend at any Campus Dining location. The Block Plan provides a certain number of meals that can be used within the semester at "The Marketplace" plus the flexibility of Dining Dollars. Dining Dollars are cash values included in all of the meal plans. They are utilized just like cash on your card. This money cannot be used in the Bookstore or other non Campus Dining locations. All plans are only for the meal plan cardholder use.

For the students on the block meal program, one meal will be deducted from your total each time you enter the Marketplace. Block meals are to be used only in the Marketplace. They have no cash equivalency.

Dining dollars may only be used in campus dining locations and does not include the bookstore. Dining dollars carry over from Fall Semester to Spring Semester when you purchase another meal plan. You can also use them to pay for pizzas from two local pizza companies.

Bulldog Bucks is a prepaid cash account which allows faculty, staff, students, and administrators to purchase meals and snacks anywhere on campus and also to purchase items at the bookstore, Paw Prints, GSBA, or Faculty Services. More information about Bulldog Bucks is available in the Campus Dining Office.

The Campus Dining Offices are located on the top floor of the COG and can be reached at extension 5874.

In order to enter the dining room, you must have an active Student Identification card. If you lose your card, you may get a new card from Student Accounts and contact the Dining Services office.

What can I take out of the Marketplace?

Only what you brought in. If you are caught removing dining room property, you will be referred to the Student Life Office.
