Using Your Meal Plan
Blocks 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. Monthly block meals will reset on the first of each month, weekly blocks will reset on Sundays. 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 blocks 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.
