Student Meal Plan Information

How do Meal Plans work at UNCG?

Meal plans are divided into two components at UNCG:

  • Meals: Meal swipes can be used to enter the Spartan Restaurant or for a "Spartan Meal to Go."
  • Flex: Flex is a declining balance meal plan account on your SpartanCard that allows you to eat tax-free at UNCG.

Please note: Remaining Flex Balance (NOT Meals) transfers from Fall to Spring Semester, but expires at the end of Spring Semester. Likewise, Flex Balance will transfer from Summer I to Summer II, but will expire at the end of Summer Session II. For details on dining locations and options, please visit UNCG Dining Services at http://www.dineoncampus.com/uncg/.

Schedule for Additions / Changes

Please note: "Add a Plan" refers to adding Flex / Meals to your card without an existing plan, while "Change a Plan" refers to replacing your current plan (less any Flex/Meals you have used).

Residential Students:

  • Registration through the first week of classes: Students are granted a single change to any eligible plan except "Flex Recharges."
  • Second week of classes through signup end*: No changes are allowed. "Flex Recharges" may be added to your student bill via Genie, or Flex may be added directly using SpartanCard Online.

Commuter Students:

  • Registration through the first week of classes: Students are granted a single change to any eligible plan except "Flex Recharge."
  • Second week of classes through signup end*: No changes are allowed. You may sign up for a new plan until the thesis filing deadline. "Flex Recharges" may be added to your student bill if you have an existing meal plan via Genie, or Flex may be added directly using SpartanCard Online.

* While the ability to add Flex typically ends two weeks before classes do, the official date changes slightly each semester. Contact the SpartanCard Center for further details.
