Meal Plans
Student Mandatory Meal Plans
For the 2009/10 academic year mandatory meal plans are as follows:
All Residents living in campus housing without kitchens will be required to purchase a declining balance meal plan in the amount of $1,165/semester.
All Residents living in campus housing with kitchens will be required to purchase a declining balance meal plan in the amount of $745/semester.
All Full-time Undergraduate students will be required to purchase a declining balance meal plan in the amount of $175/semester. Full-time Undergraduate shall be defined as 12 credit hours or more, excluding Health Science students.
The university's meal plans are declining balance plans; which means that the actual amount of the purchase is deducted from the plan balance each time it is used. Students are not charged sales tax when they purchase food with their meal plan, so they receive a 6% savings each time they use their card.
Meal plans can be used at any of the Belknap Campus UofL Dining Service locations. Card holders are responsible for purchases made on lost or stolen cards; therefore, if your Cardinal ID card has been lost or stolen, please contact the Cardinal Card Office immediately by email, phone (502) 852-7520, or by stopping by Room 08K in the Houchens building to place a hold on your meal plan account.
Unused meal points transfer from Fall to Spring semester. At the end of the Spring semester, any unused meal points are not refundable and cannot be transferred to the new academic year.
- There are several ways to add funds to your meal plan:
- By calling the Campus Card Office at 502-852-7520 and using Visa or MasterCard
