Dining Plans and Packages
Eagle Dining Services offers a variety of options for students, faculty, and staff to enjoy a great dining experience on Georgia Southern University’s campuses. Dining Plans are available to all undergraduate and graduate students. Our dining halls are located on the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses of Georgia Southern.
Access Plans
Ideal for: First-year students
Access Plans give you all access to our residential dining facilities on the Statesboro and Armstrong campuses. They are the most versatile and all-encompassing dining plans you can have, and they’re great for a new student.
Block Plans
Ideal for: Commuters, Non-Traditional and Graduate Students
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
Ideal for: Upperclassmen or Returning Students
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.
First-Year Students
First-year students living in on-campus housing must have, at a minimum, the Access+ Dining Plan with 100 Dining Dollars. Total cost for this plan is $2154.
Upperclassmen Students
Upperclassmen students can purchase any dining plan they would like. This includes the Access+ dining plans, Block plans and Weekly plans. They can also purchase EagleXpress Packages from Eagle Card Services if they would like.
Graduate Students
Graduate students may purchase any of our dining plans. Block and Weekly dining plans are great for the “student on-the-go” and can come in handy when you want to grab a quick meal with friends in the dining hall.
