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.

NEW: Yella's

Over 90 years ago, our founder Yella set out to find the best sandwiches and burgers but was disappointed by the quality he encountered. Determined to create something better, he opened his own establishment, serving mouthwatering sandwiches and the greatest burgers around. Though his grandchildren never had the chance to meet him, they honor his legacy today with the creation of Yella's. Known for his energetic spirit as a dance caller in the '30s and '40s, Yella earned his nickname by getting people on the dance floor-just as our menu is "food worth screaming about."

Yella's is a fan favorite and prides itself on food worth screaming about! American fare favorites give a menu that is 100% fresh, 100% quality, and 100% casual.
