Food Plan Options
The following are the 2024-2025 food plan options for Undergraduates.
Meal Blocks / Swipes
The term Blocks or Swipes refers to one meal. For example, a 19-Meal per Week Plan gives you 19 meals to use per week. Meal Blocks expire at midnight every Sunday and reset at 12:01 Monday morning and will not carry over.
Dining Dollars
The 5 Residential food plan comes with $125 Dining Dollars (commuters only). The 10, 14 and 19 Residential food plans per week come with $250 Dining Dollars. The Unlimited food plan comes with $300 Dining Dollars. Dining Dollars expire at the end of each semester and do not carry over.
To purchase additional Dining Dollars ($15 bonus if purchasing $100), visit Goucher College's OneCard Center. Purchases can be made in $25 and $100 increments.
Gopher Bucks
Gopher Bucks can be used anywhere on campus in place of cash, credit, and debit cards. They can also be used to purchase meals in all locations on campus. Gopher Bucks carry over from semester to semester. Balances over $10 will be refunded after the student has graduated or is no longer attending.
Purchase Gopher Bucks (do not expire, can be used in dining facilities, the bookstore, post office, laundry, vending machines, health center and more).
Kosher Nosh
Strictly kosher, meat and vegan options but no dairy. Available to all students with a regular meal swipe in Mary Fisher.
