Adding a Commuter Meal Plan

The Bobcat Card Office administers off campus meal plans only. Students living on campus must contact University Housing to sign up for a meal plan or make meal plan changes. The contact information for University Housing is housing@gcsu.edu or 478-445-5160.

There are 3 steps to adding a meal plan to the Bobcat Card. Apply for the meal plan, pay for the meal plan, and get the meals added to your Bobcat Card.

Step One:

Apply for a meal plan

  • Log into MyGCSU
  • Choose "Service Apps" tab
  • Find "Commuter Student Meal Plans" Icon (icons are in alphabetical order)
  • A new tab (or window) with the application should appear (If not, the pop-up blocker on the web browser will need to be turned off)
  • Click "Commuter Student Meal Plan"
  • Click "Apply", then "Begin Application"
  • Follow the instruction for each section of the application at the top
  • In the "Meal Plan" section, select your meal plan, then click "Submit Application"
  • The "Application Status" will be displayed and a confirmation email will be sent to the student's Georgia College email address

Step Two:

Pay for the meal plan

Meal plan charges are posted to student’s financial accounts twice a day (at 10:00 a.m. and 4 p.m.). Charges for meal plans applied for prior to 9:15 a.m. will be posted to student accounts  at 10 a.m. Charges for meal plans applied for between 9:16 a.m. and 3:15 p.m. will be posted to student accounts at 4 p.m. 

Step Three:

Get meals added to Bobcat Card

Once the meal plan has been paid for, either call or stop by the Bobcat Card Office to have the meal plan added to the Bobcat Card.  

Note: During the 1st week of classes, meal plans are added to Bobcat Cards regardless of payment status.
