Dining Service Board Plans, Polar Points, and Polar Plus

Students

Dining Service board plans and Extra Dining Polar Points are programmed on your card.

You can use the funds on your Bowdoin OneCard Account as Extra Dining Polar Points to purchase food at the convenience store, grill, and cafe, or to purchase extra meals, after you've expended those that come with your board plan. 

Faculty and Staff

Benefits-eligible faculty and staff can sign up for a Polar Plus Account to use their OneCard to purchase meals in dining halls and make purchases at the grill, cafe, and convenience store. To set up a Polar Plus Account, contact Human Resources at x3837 or download the Polar Plus Payroll Deduction Authorization (pdf) form.

Summer Program Participants

Summer Programs participants will generally have meals in dining halls as part of their program. See your Program Coordinator for details.
