Dining Plans 101
Each Dining Plan has two components, meals and flex dollars.
Meals
Choose from weekly meals or a block plan.
Weekly meals can be purchased for a specific number of meals each week during a semester. If you have a weekly Dining Plan…
- unused meals cannot be refunded, accumulated or carried over to the next week.
- your weekly meal allowance begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday.
Block meals can be purchased for a specific number of meals each semester. If you have a block Dining Plan…
- unused meals cannot be refunded, or carried over at the end of the semester.
- plan is based on 8 meals per week but you determine how many meals you want to use.
Both plans include…
- one meal is deducted from your meal total each time you purchase a meal through one of our participating Dining Services locations.
- use your meals to enjoy all-you-care-to-eat at Commons Market and Blazer Café or build your own "Combo Meal" at K-Lair Grill and Ovid's Cafe by choosing an entrée, adding a side(s), and a drink.
Flex Dollars
- Flex Dollars work like a debit card, using your Wildcard Student ID, and can be used in all 21 Dining Services locations including:
- All-you-care-to-eat buffets at Commons Market and Blazer Café
- National franchises: Starbucks®, Subway®, Chick-fil-A®, and Sbarro®.
- Dining Services locations in academic buildings including Erikson, Gatton College of Business, Ag North, Bluegrass Community and Technical College (BCTC), and Patterson Office Tower.
- Locations close to residence halls including Ovid's Café, the Food Court at the Student Center, and K-Lair Grill.
- Three convenience stores: Blazer Xpress (Blazer Hall), The Corner Store (Commons Market), and Quick Stop (Student Center).
- Purchases are subtracted from your account.
- Adding money to your Flex Account is easy at the Dining & Plus Account Office in 101 Student Center. Dining Services will contribute an additional 10% to the account when your Plan is initiated and each time a minimum deposit of $25 or more is made during the semester.
- $100 in Flex Dollars can transfer from the Fall to Spring Semesters. Unused Flex Dollars at the end of the Spring Semester are non-refundable.
