Create your own custom dining experience at Marietta College. Enjoy fresh food and relax with friends in any campus eatery. Or, if you’re on the go, grab a quick bite to eat on your way to class.
Each meal plan offers a specific number of meal swipes per week plus a Declining Balance amount for custom purchases in campus cafes. Each time you dine, a meal will be deducted from your total meal balance for that week. Your meal plan will reset every Saturday night.
You must choose your meal plan at the beginning of each semester. If you find your plan isn’t fitting your needs, you have up to ten (10) days after the semester starts to make a change.
Selecting Your Meal Plan
The Meal Plans are designed for personalized meal planning. Simply determine your dining needs and select the plan that works best for you. First year students are required to have at least a PIO 14 meal plan, and PIO 5 meal plans are only available to students residing in on-campus apartments or those who are commuters.
Meal plans allow up to 3 unrestricted meal swipes per day, seven days a week, in Gilman Dining Hall or at any of the campus dining locations by using the meal exchange program. Students must have meals available on their plans to use 3 daily meal swipes, and they cannot use their meal swipes on other students.
Meal swipes may be used at any time of the day during regular operating hours, providing the opportunity for students to dine multiple times during a meal period (breakfast, lunch & dinner) or visit the Pioneer Pit Stop Convenience Shop in McCoy Hall.
Declining Balance
The meal plan also has a Declining Balance account and may be used for custom meal or snack purchases at any dining location on campus. Declining Balance is valid for one semester. Additional Declining Balance dollars may be purchased in $25 increments as needed anytime during the semester in person at the Gilman dining services office, by telephone at (740) 376-4786, or by emailing the dining service office.
Meal Exchange
The meal exchange program provides the opportunity to use meal swipes to select meal or snack packages offered in select campus dining locations Packages are valued at one meal swipe.
