Faculty and Staff Meal Plans
GW Faculty and Staff also have access to the culinary-diverse dining options across campus. Meal plans are available at a discounted price for Faculty and Staff to purchase and are paid for through payroll deduction.
Full- and part-time benefit-eligible faculty and staff are able to participate in the Faculty & Staff Meal Plans. Temporary and student staff members are not eligible to receive these plans.

How to Sign-Up and Pay for a Meal Plan
Faculty and Staff may request a plan be added to their GWorld card by filling out the form below. After August 16 for the fall semester and January 17 for the spring semester, you are only able to enroll in the 12-meal plan. Each semester you enroll in the Faculty/Staff Meal Plan there will be either three monthly or six bi-weekly post-tax deductions from your paycheck based on your pay schedule. For example, monthly deductions for fall meal plans will come out of your September, October and November paychecks.

- How to use your meal plan
Fall meal plans are available to use from September 1 – December 17.
Spring meal plans are available to use from February 1 – May 9.
Our Faculty & Staff Meal Plans are based on a ‘swipe’ concept. A swipe grants diners entry into any of the three dining halls in Thurston, Shenkman, and West Hall. Diners can swipe their GWorld card with the cashier, which deducts one ‘meal’ from their plan. Once in the dining area, diners can eat as much as they want from a variety of offerings. Or a swipe can also be used to obtain a 'Meal Deal' (an entree, side and drink) from one of GW Dining’s quick-service locations.
Once a diner uses their full pre-paid swipe allotment for the semester, they can still visit any on-campus GW Dining locations, but would need to pay out-of-pocket.
