Dining Services
Whether you live on campus or spend a lot of time here we have many dining options for you. UAF offers five different meal plans for residential and commuter students. Students at UAF can choose from plans ranging from 19 meals each week to 60 meals a semester, served in the Lola Tilly Commons. Meals in the commons are served "all you care to eat” style. Options include a large salad bar, pizza station, carved meats, grilled items, ice cream and the classics. Lola Tilly Commons is located on lower campus in front of McIntosh, Nerland and Stevens Halls. The commons is closed during winter and spring break.

- 170 block plan with $250 in Munch Money: The block plan with a difference. It offers similar flexibility to the 60 block plan but this plan includes guest privileges. You can invite guests to dine with you.

Meals are accessed using the Polar Express Card (student ID card). If you choose a plan with Munch Money you have the option of using the Polar Express Card to eat at any of the six campus dining locations or make purchases in most campus vending machines. Students living in residence halls are required to purchase a meal plan unless assigned to Cutler Apartments or Wickersham Hall. Students wishing to share meals with others may use Munch Money, or purchase the 170 block plan which includes guest privileges. Dining services on campus are provided by UAF partner NANA/Sodexho, an international food and facilities management services company.
