Meal Plans

Residential Meal Plans are a great way to simplify your life. They provide a balance of all-you-care-to-eat meals at The Village Cafe in Norse Commons and Callahan Bistro in Callahan Residence Hall plus FLEX Dollars that can be used at any on-campus dining location. With a meal plan, you never have to worry about carrying cash - just swipe and enjoy! And, the dining centers are a great place to catch up with friends.

Students living in Commonwealth Hall, Kentucky Hall, Norse Hall, University Suites, and Callahan Hall are required to have a meal plan. Students living in Woodcrest Apartments are not required to have a meal plan, but they are welcome to purchase a plan. 
Descriptions and pricing of our meal plans offered can be found on the Residential Meal Plan page.

Applications for meal plans can be found on the Housing Application page.

The meal plans were designed through the cooperation of student government, administration and food services. In addition to the meal plan, All Card Dollars are available for maximum flexibility and savings. All Card Dollars may be put on your NKU All Card through the All Card Office.
