All first-year students and those who live in residence halls without kitchens must purchase a Residential Meal Plan. While that plan meets many students' needs, BC Dining also offers a Maroon Upgrade and a Gold Upgrade that add more spending power and flexibility to individual meal plans.

- Lower Live at Corcoran Commons
- The Loft at Addie's at Corcoran Commons
- Welch Dining Hall at Lyons
- Stuart Hall on Newton Campus
- Cafe 129 on Brighton Campus (opening later this semester)
- Carney's at McElroy Commons
- Eagle's Nest at McElroy Commons

The mandatory Residential Meal Plan also includes $175 per semester in Dining Bucks, which provide added flexibility and variety. These funds can be used at the following specialty locations:
- Hillside Cafe at Maloney Hall
- The Chocolate Bar at Stokes (opening later this semester)
- The Bean Counter at Fulton Hall (opening later this semester)

We are aware of a potential issue after upgrading to the latest GET mobile app where the app will not launch fully and remains stuck on the blue GET logo splash screen even after force closing. This will be addressed in a planned patch to the mobile apps in the middle part of this month. The temporary workaround, if there is not the option to bypass biometrics and use PIN entry, is to uninstall/reinstall the app for iOS or perform an app clear cache for Android users to resolve the issue.
