BSC Meal Plans
Campus dining is a large part of your college experience. Our goal is to make your dining experience the best it can be by providing good, nutritious food in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. All you need is a paid meal plan and your student ID, and you have the freedom to dine the way you want.
BSC's dining facilities are managed by Bon Appétit, a nationally known food service company dedicated to providing a balance food service program that meets nutritional, educational, and social needs of students and the college community.
Mandatory Meal Plan Requirement
BSC's commitment to provide quality food service and offer a variety of options requires contracting with a third- party food service vendor. For this reason, all students are required to purchase a meal plan each semester. A student's residency (residential hall, apartment, or commuter) determines the minimum meal plan requirement. The Bursar's Office automatically assigns every student the minimum meal plan required for their specific residency type.
The Explorations Term $350 Meal Plan is mandatory for residential students. The meal plan consists of 20 board swipes and $100 in Panther Bucks.
MEAL PLANS DO NOT ROLLOVER OR TRANSFER TO THE NEXT TERM. All unused funds are forfeited.
