Why get a meal plan?

Discounted meal plans are available to all UAF faculty and staff who are benefitted employees. Whether you're fueling up before you hit the campus ski trails or grabbing lunch in between teaching classes, UAF Dining is a quality and convenient choice. Build your UAF community around your next meal.

Enjoy up to $30 in savings depending on your plan selection and how you use it. That’s dinner for you and a friend, or a few complimentary coffees for you and your students — whatever a meal plan looks like to you.

If you choose to enroll in payroll deduction, you have the option for just a one-time purchase or to opt-in to recurring payments that reload your PolarExpress Card whenever you’ve paid off your plan balance.

FAQs and Resources

Munch money is cash that is loaded onto your PolarExpress card, similar to a debit card. Munch Money is part of most UAF meal plans and can be used at any UAF dining or cafe location on campus. With each purchase, your transaction amount will be deducted from the remaining Munch Money balance on your account. You may view your current Munch Money balance on the bottom of each purchase receipt or by clicking View Balance at the bottom of Dining Services’ website.

Please note: Your PolarExpress card is REQUIRED to access your Munch Money. No exceptions. If your PolarExpress card is lost or stolen, immediately notify the PolarExpress Office in Signers' Hall at 907-474-7384 to have them disable use on that card. Funds used will not be reimbursed.

Faculty/Staff meal plans are non-refundable and not transferable. If you’d like to make a change to your payroll deduction amount or cancel the recurring plan for the next cycle, you need to complete the "Make a Change to an Existing Meal Plan" section on the Automatic Payroll Deduction Application.

Ordering on the go? UAF’s Munch Money is compatible with the mobile ordering system, Transact. Read more and download the Transact mobile app here.
