Prior to the first meal plan service day of the academic semester, students may change their meal plan selection at no charge. To initiate the change, complete the Meal Plan Change Request form and submit the form to the BuzzCard Center either in person or by fax (404.894.2049). NOTE: After the first meal plan service day, all meal plan change requests must be brought, in person, to the BuzzCard Center for processing.

Meal plan change requests are not processed during the first week of the academic semester.

A meal plan change period is offered during the second and third weeks of each academic semester. If a student changes his or her meal plan during this time, the following rules apply:

1. Students will be assessed an administrative processing fee. The administrative processing fee is collected at the time when the Meal Plan Change Request form is submitted. The administrative processing fee cannot be charged to the student’s Bursar account. All meal plan change requests during this period must be made in person at the BuzzCard Center. BuzzCard Center will not accept faxed copies of meal plan changes during this two-week meal plan change period.
2. Once the meal plan week begins, students must remain on their original meal plan selection until the following Friday. The meal plan week runs from Friday through Thursday. All meal plan changes become effective the following Friday at 6:00 a.m.
3. The BuzzCard Center will process a prorated credit for the original meal plan charge and assess to the student’s Bursar account a prorated charge for the new meal plan selection.
4. BuzzCard account funds are not affected by a meal plan change unless the student is a Freshman Experience participant. If the student is a Freshman Experience participant and they change to a lower cost meal plan, the prorated difference between the meal plan costs will be applied to his or her BuzzCard account. Likewise, if the student changes to a higher priced meal plan, the cost difference is deducted from his or her BuzzCard account. Should the student have insufficient funds in his or her BuzzCard account, the entire amount will be billed to the student’s Bursar account.
5. Freshman Experience participants may choose between the Unlimited Plan Plus 5 (unlimited meals plus five retail meals), the traditional Unlimited (unlimited meals), the Classic (fourteen meals per week), and the Basic (ten meals per week) meal plans when requesting a change.
6. Freshman Experience participants who request a fall academic semester meal plan change will automatically be assigned the changed meal plan for the spring academic semester.

Freshman Experience participants who pledge a fraternity or sorority will have the opportunity to change to the Social 75 meal plan. The Social 75 meal plan provides students access to any seventy-five meals at Brittain and Woodruff Dining Halls throughout the academic semester. To make a change, complete a Meal Plan Change Request Form. The Office of Greek Affairs, located in room 141 of the Student Services Building (Flag Building), will certify the student’s pledge status by stamping the Meal Plan Change Request form. Once the form is certified, the student must bring the form to the BuzzCard Center for processing. All other meal plan change policies apply as outlined above. The student will be automatically billed for the Social 75 Meal Plan, including Buzz Funds, for the spring academic semester. The Social 75 Meal Plan charge will include BuzzFunds in an amount equal to the BuzzFunds included as part of the Freshman Experience Classic 10 Meal Plan. If the student de-pledges, they will be reassigned their original meal plan selection.

Ramblin' 400 and Ramblin' 200 meal plans cannot be cancelled or changed.
