Residential Meal Plans

Girl Eating Spaghetti

Whether you live on or off campus, a Meal Plan is by far the most economical and most convenient way to eat on campus. For your convenience all Meal Plans will be billed to your university bill. Meal Plans also offer more value for your dollar! Meals can be used for all-you-care-to-eat meals in The Fresh Food Company or to purchase  predetermined 'Value Meals' at many of our other dining locations. Meal Plan members may use up to 4 meals throughout the day whenever they want to purchase any of the predetermined Value Meals or eat at the Fresh Food Company.

Meal Plan Dollars are also part of some of the meal plans and give you more value and convenience – you don’t have to worry about having cash in your pocket when you want to buy something. By using Meal Plan Dollars, you will save 11% every time you make a purchase in all retail dining locations including the on campus convenience stores. Plus, if you happen to have Meal Plan Dollars left at the end of the fall semester, they will rollover to the spring semester, giving you more time to use them!

Freshman Requirements
Freshman coming into Western who are required to live on campus are also required to have either the 10, 14 or 19 membership option for an entire academic year. Meal Plan Members will automatically be re-enrolled for the same plan chosen in the Fall semester for the Spring semester. This requirement is not influenced by changes in class standing that may occur during the student’s first year at WKU. Some exemptions may be granted for verifiable medical conditions that can not be fulfilled by any of the memberships. Appeals for exemption from this University requirement may be made in writing via email to tim.colley@wku.edu.
