How can we help?

Answers to the most common questions about Trot. If you don't find what you need, email us directly.

Who can use Trot?

Trot is for verified GCU students only. You need a valid .edu email address to create an account.

How does payment work?

There are no in-app payments. You pay your runner directly at handoff — via Venmo, Zelle, or cash — for your food plus the runner's fee ($1–2). The fee is shown on every run before you request a spot.

What if my runner doesn't show up?

If a runner marks you as a no-show or cancels, you'll be notified immediately. You can report any issue through the app by tapping the flag icon on the run, and we'll review it.

How do I post a run?

Tap "Post a run" on the Runs tab, pick a food spot, set your leaving time and fee, and publish. Other students can request spots until you lock the run and head out.

Can I cancel a run I posted?

Yes — open the run from My Runs and tap Cancel. Any pending orders will be automatically declined and requesters notified.

How do ratings work?

After a run is completed, both the runner and requester can leave a 1–5 star rating. Ratings are averaged into your public reputation score, which is visible to other students.

How do I delete my account?

Go to Profile → Security → Delete account. You'll be asked to confirm your password. Account deletion is permanent and removes all your data from our servers.
