Flexible Spending Plan

NJCU offers a flexible spending plan that residents and commuters access via the Gothic Card to purchase individual meals and snacks from any dining service location. Similar to a debit card, the amount of any purchase is deducted from your account balance. Gothic Card points, which equal dollars, can be added in $10 increments at the University Center on the first floor of the Gilligan Student Union.

Note: Students wishing to include flexible dollars as part of their financial aid must contact the Office of Student Accounts (Bursar Office) for assistance. For more information on NJCU dining services, visit the NJCU Gourmet Dining Catering and Dining website.
