Students who are 21 years of age prior to the first day of the semester are eligible to live off-campus, thus making them eligible to be off the meal plan.  Students who fit this criteria will have all meal plan options available to them, if they quailfy, in their meal plan selection form in MYGFU.  Students must contact the director of housing and/or submit the proper documentation.  Email - housing@georgefox.edu

Students who wish to make any changes to their meal plan after this assignment is given can do so through MyGFU as long as it is within the deadline - the 2nd Friday of each semester.

Students are responsible to confirm their meal plans each semester and make any changes prior to the 2nd Friday of each semester.

Bon Appetit makes every effort to meet the dietary and scheduling needs of our students. Boxed meals may be requested when educational scheduling conflicts arise. Exemptions from the meal plan are granted for medical reasons only when Bon Appetit cannot accommodate a student's specific dietary needs as determined by a doctor.

A licensed physician must supply documentation of the petitioning student's medical condition. Anyone seeking an exemption from the meal plan must complete all necessary paperwork before the request for exemption is considered.

The Accommodation Form can be found on the Student Life website.

The deadline for all exemption paperwork is the first Friday of fall semester and the first Friday of spring semester. Paperwork completed after these dates may not be considered.
