Frequently Asked Questions
Meal Plan Basics
When does the meal plan start?
Meal plans take effect the Monday before classes begin.
Where can I use my meal plan?
You can use your meal plan swipes at Chivers Hall for all-you-care-to-eat dining. Flex Dollars may be used towards all food and beverage purchases at all campus retail locations operated by Morehouse Culinary Services.
Am I required to have a meal plan? If so, why?
All students living in traditional campus housing are required to be on a residential meal plan. Freshman are mandated to be on the All-Access Plan. Upperclassmen living in traditional campus housing may select the All-Access or Platinum Plan.
Participation in the meal plan is an important part of the support system provided by living on campus. It is one element that enhances the academic efforts and social adjustment of new students and provides health and convenience benefits to all students.
Meal plans are optional, but recommended for non-residential students and residents of the Otis Moss Suites. Meal plan participants must adhere to all meal plan change/cancellation policies once a plan is purchased.
How do I select my meal plan? When is the deadline?
All students living in traditional campus housing will select meal plans when applying for housing in the spring. Meal plan selections are for the academic year, but are billed by the semester. Freshman are mandated to be on the All-Access Plan. Residential upperclassmen, residents of the Otis Moss Suites and commuters have the option to change or cancel meal plans prior to the start of the spring semester. Commuter students may select a meal plan through this form. August 16 is the deadline for students that registered and were financially cleared by July 1. Students that register late and are financially cleared must add or change their meal plan no later than August 23. Please note the August 23 deadline only applies to students that encounter financial issues.
If I don't live in on-campus housing, can I still get a meal plan?
Yes! We offer Commuter Meal Plans. Meal plan selections for Fall 2024 must be made by August 16. You may select your meal plan through this form. See the meal plan page for more information.
How do I cancel or make changes to my meal plan selection?
All students living in traditional campus housing on campus are required to be on a residential meal plan. Freshman are mandated to be on the All-Access Plan. For all others, meal plan cancellations and changes must be submitted via this form that is distributed by the Housing Office at the beginning of the year.
Are guests allowed?
Guests are allowed. Guests without a meal plan can use cash, credit or Flex Dollars to purchase a meal.
