Dining Plans are available to all undergraduate and graduate students. Our dining halls are located on the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses of Georgia Southern.

Block Plans give diners access to the residential dining facilities on a per-visit basis, and are great for commuters, non-traditional or graduate students to get a quick meal in the dining hall between studies.

Weekly Plans give you access to our residential dining facilities per week, allowing you to go as you please and giving you consistent access throughout the times you’re on campus.
