Hey Jayhawks! It's that time of the year to start looking at which dining plan best fits your needs! 😊 The 2026-2027 Dining plans all feature a select amount of meal swipes, as well as dining dollars. These plans are designed to fit the needs of students and their habits. 🥗🍎🍕
🍽️ Residential Dining Halls are All-You-Care-To-Eat (AYCTE) dining establishments and are Mrs. E’s (Daisy Hill), South Dining Commons (Downs Hall), and North College Café (GSP Hall).
🌮 Retail locations offer multiple concepts from tacos to salad bars locations are: The Market (Kansas Union), The Underground (Wescoe Hall), Courtside Café (DeBruce Center), The Studio (Hashinger Hall), Chick-fil-A (Kansas Union), Wendy’s (Kansas Union) and Shake Smart (Ambler Rec Center).
☕️ CoffeeHouse WPS Starbucks locations across campus that offer grab ‘n’ go items such as salads, sandwiches, fruit cups, and more!
🍴 Meal swipes can be utilized at all of our residential dining hall locations. Swipes are on a weekly basis and reset every Monday morning. For Premium and 14-Meal plan holders, a swipe can be used at retail locations utilizing the heart of campus pass that is accessed through the Grubhub app.
🤑 Dining Dollars are a dollar-for-dollar exchange on every purchase, Dining Dollars are used for all purchases from meals at retail locations, when you need a Starbucks coffee between classes. Dining Dollars roll over from fall to spring to an active dining plan. Please note that Dining Dollars are only academic year; any unused dollars expire at the end of the spring semester and are forfeited. Make sure you plan accordingly to use your dollars and not lose them.
