Common Meal Plan Questions and Answers:
Q. How do I know if I successfully acquired a meal plan on-line?
A: Upon successful completion of the "on-line", seven-step meal
plan verification process, you will receive a confirmation email with a confirmation
number.
Q. When may I begin to dine using my new meal plan?
A: Upon receipt of your confirmation number, and provided that a
dining commons is open and is serving meals for the meal plan you have acquired,
you may immediately go dine, even though may not have paid
for your meal plan.
Q. When will meal plan charges post to my account?
A: If you acquire your meal plan "on-line" before 5 PM, Monday-Friday,
the charge should post to your student account the next business day. If after 5 PM,
Monday-Friday, the charge should post to your student account the second business day.
If you acquire your meal plan after 5 PM Friday and before 5 PM Monday, the charge will
not post to your student account until Tuesday.
Q. How/where do I pay for my meal plan?
A: To keep your student account in good standing, ensure that you pay
for your meal plan in accordance with Bursar payment instructions provided vie email
to your UGA email. If you pay via OASIS using a credit card (MC, Discover, AMEX), the
total cost plus a 3% fee will be additionally charged. In lieu of playing by credit
card, you may mail a check to the Bursar for your meal plan. Make your check payable
to The University of Georgia and mail it to:
UGA Bursar's Office
105 Business Services Building
Athens, GA 30602-4227
Include the student's name and the last four of their SSN on the check.
Q. If I did not have a meal plan Fall Semester but get one for Spring
Semester, what is my financial and time commitment?
A: You are responsible for only one-half of the total academic year
meal plan price—one semester's cost only. Your meal plan agreement will expire on
the last day of meal plan service Spring Semester. Your academic year meal plan will
not carry over to the subsequent Summer Session or to the next Fall Semester.
Q. Does the price of the meal plan stay the same all semester?
A: The purchase cost of a meal plan is prorated after three full weeks
of meal plan service have elapsed. On the 22nd day of meal plan service and
after UGA cancellations have been processed, the purchase cost for a meal plan will be
the full cost of the meal plan less one day's cost at the daily meal plan rate for the
plan you have selected.
Q. If I have a Five Day Plan, can I upgrade to Seven Day?
A: Yes, but at present, an upgrade is not available "on-line." If you want to begin
dining and it is a Saturday or Sunday, simply visit either The Summit or Oglethorpe
Dining Commons and ask to complete a Meal Plan Upgrade Form. Upon completion you will
be allowed to eat. Charges reflecting the cost difference between the 5 Day and 7 Day
plans on that day, but not to exceed $101.00, will post to your student account the
subsequent Tuesday. If you do not require immediate weekend access, you can: visit any
of the dining commons and complete and turn-in an Upgrade Form, visit the Administrative
Office in the lower level of Snelling Dining Commons, or send an email message, Subject:
Meal Plan Upgrade, providing your name and My UGA ID# to:
bowdoin@uga.edu or mealplans@foodser.uga.edu
Q. Other Questions?
A: Please refer any other questions to a meal plan representative by calling: 706-542-7130; visiting the Food Services Admin Office located in the lower level of Snelling Dining Commons; or sending an email with your name and My UGA ID# to:
bowdoin@uga.edu or mealplans@foodser.uga.edu
