Dining
The UAF Dining Experience
UAF Dining offers a welcoming, affordable dining experience for Fairbanks residential and commuter students. With multiple locations on the Troth Yeddha' Campus in Fairbanks, you will find something to satisfy all your dining needs. All of them accept cash, BearBucks, meal plans and credit cards. Please visit the UAF Dining website for more information on each location.
Meal Plan Options
Meal plans are combinations of meal swipes and Munch Money. Meal swipes can be redeemed at most Troth Yeddha' Campus dining locations for designated combo meals, including the all-you-care-to-eat dinner at Dine Forty-nine. Swipes may also be used as cash equivalency up to $10 at any dining location. Munch Money functions similar to a debit card and is accepted at all dining locations and most vending machines on campus.

Using Your Meal Plan
Meal swipes and Munch Money are accessed using the PolarExpress student ID card. With all meal plans, you have the option to eat at any campus dining location or to make purchases at most campus vending machines.
All students living in a residence hall and Cutler Apartments are required to purchase a meal plan. UAF also offers meal plans to students not living on campus. Students wishing to share meals with others may do so as long as they are present. For more information on meal plan options and plan details, please review the Dining Services program terms and conditions.
All pricing is per semester. Students will automatically be enrolled in the same meal plan in the spring semester unless Dining Services is notified in writing of a different selection. These plans are non-transferable. Meal swipes will reset monthly on the first of each month. Up to $250 in leftover Munch Money from the fall semester will be added to the spring meal plan. All remaining Munch Money expires at the end of the academic year in May if not used. Unused meal swipes and Munch Money are nonrefundable.
Dining services on campus are provided by UAF partner Chartwells Higher Education Dining Services, an international food and facilities management services company. Check Dining Services’ website for additions or changes.
