Meal Plan Information
- Additional details and all meal plan policies can be found in the Student Handbook.
- Flex Points:
- Are a declining balance on a student’s ID card that may be used at our dining facilities on the Newberg campus (Canyon Commons dining hall, the Bridge Cafe, and the Maker's Market).
- Roll over from fall to spring, but are forfeited at the end of the spring semester.
- Block meals:
- Are a single meal, or “swipe,” that can be used at any point during the semester for either a student or a guest to enter Canyon Commons.
- Block meals do not roll over from fall to spring, and are forfeited at the end of each semester.
- Bruin Deluxe Meal Plans:
- Have up to five guest meal passes a semester that may be used when a friend or family member accompanies a student to Canyon Commons. Note: Passes not available during Family Weekend.
- Weekly meal allotment begins with breakfast on Monday and ends with dinner on Sunday.
- Bruin Select Meal Plans:
- May use any meal for a guest, but the meal will deducted from the student's total meals.
- Students may renew these meal plans multiple times each semester by emailing University Housing at housing@georgefox.edu.
Meal Plan Selection
- To select or change a meal plan, visit the Housing & Community Life Portal and select "Meal Plan" from the main menu.
- Meal plan eligibility is based on completed credits, and transfer credits count toward this eligibility.
- Students who fail to select a meal plan by July 1st for the following academic year will be assigned the lowest meal plan they are eligible for.
- No declining meal plan changes can be made after the end of the first week of classes of each semester.
- Students who fail to confirm their meal plans will be charged for the meal plan even if the plan is not utilized.
- Students with any medical needs or dietary restrictions can submit a Meal Plan Accommodation with Disability & Accessibility Services to lower or remove their meal plan. There is no deadline for accommodation requests.
- Students with significant financial hardship can fill out a Meal Plan Petition with University Housing to lower their meal plan. Students cannot remove their meal plan through this process. These requests must be submitted by August 1st for both the fall and spring semesters.
