Meal Plans 101

Meal Swipes

• A Meal Plan at WKU is a convenient and cost efficient way for a student to eat on campus using their WKU ID. There are over 20 restaurants scattered across campus where a student can use their Meal Plan to eat. There are a variety of flavors and choices for each student to enjoy!

Value Meals/Swipe

• Each location with the exception of Starbucks, Spencer's Coffee, Java City and Einstein Bros. Bagels have preset ‘Value Meals’ made for students with a meal plan. The student will use their WKU ID to ‘swipe’ or ‘use a meal swipe’ to purchase a Value Meal at these locations.
• Current Value Meal options can be found here.

Meal Plan Dollars

• The money associated with each Meal Plan is for the student to use at dining locations if they want something other than the Value Meal options, to purchase a meal for a friend or to use at our two on campus convenience stores.
• Students will save 11% on applicable purchases using the Meal Plan Dollars associated with the Meal Plan.
• Not enough Meal Plan Dollars with your meal plan? You can add more before the Friday of the first week of class AND have them added to your university bill! Go to TopNet to add more Meal Plan Dollars!

Guest Meals

All students with a traditional meal plan will have 4 FREE Guest meals each semester to use for themselves, a family member or friend in our all-you-care-to-eat location, Fresh Food Company. These guest meals can be picked up in our main dining office after the first three weeks of classes.
