UAF Dining Services offers faculty and staff a dining plan that provide meals at prices below those paid by walk-up customers.


  • The block 300 plan costs $300 per year. It covers $300 of Munch Money purchases and comes with a bonus of either 10 block meals or an additional $30 in munch money.

  • The block 200 plan costs $200 per year. It covers $200 of Munch Money purchases and comes with a bonus of either five block meals or an additional $20 in Munch Money.


Munch Money is used like cash at all dining locations and most vending machines on campus at any time of the day.

Block dinners are at Dine 49 and provide all-you-care-to-eat. They can be exchanged for as much as a $7 equivalency at most UAF campus dining locations (excluding Subway) from 4:30 p.m. until closing. Multiple blocks, munch money or other forms of payment may be used for purchases of more than $7. Customers must have their PolarExpress cards to access their meal plans.

These plans can be purchased with a payroll deduction. Purchasers can make the payments recurring. The plans expire one year from the date of purchase. You can find more information and the faculty/staff meal plan application on the Dining Services website.
