180 Block Plan + 300 Paw Points

$2,235 per semester

Sign Up Now

Available to all students, faculty and staff

This meal plan:

  • Provides a select number of block* meals per semester from Bolton, Oglethorpe, Snelling, the Village Summit, or the Niche (HSC)
  • Provides a set number of Paw Points per semester to be used at any UGA Dining restaurant, coffee shop, or market as well as vending machines (you can always add more Paw Points to your account if you use more than you anticipated)

*One block is equivalent to one entry into the dining commons (for example, a 180 block plan provides you with 180 meals throughout the semester). Blocks do not roll from one semester to the next so it is to your advantage to use your blocks each semester so as to not forfeit any unused blocks from fall to spring.

Here’s what others are saying about the UGA meal plan:

I have the 180 blocks plus 300 Paw Points which averages out to about 2 meals a day at the dining halls, but that is more than enough. With the addition of Paw Points, I’m offered a variety of restaurants I can enjoy!

- Ethan Dawidowicz, UGA '24

I am on the 7 Day All-Access meal plan and I love the flexibility … I can pop in to get a cup of coffee at O-House or a scone from Bolton whenever I want. I definitely make use of the full value of my plan!
