Dining costs and meal plans

Find the right meal plan for your lifestyle

Whether you like a consistent routine or prefer a flexible setup, NAU has a meal plan to match. Choose from weekly plans that reset each Sunday, unlimited access to the main dining halls, or hybrid plans that give you a little of both, plus Dining Dollars to spend at restaurants across campus.

Weekly plans give you 10, 14, or 19 meals each week (resetting on Sundays), while the Unlimited plan lets you visit our all-you-care-to-eat dining halls as often as you want. Blended plans give you a combination of weekly meals, flexible extra swipes, and Dining Dollars. It’s all about what fits your routine and appetite.

With most meal plans, you can use meals as “Transfer Specials” at over 20 on-campus restaurants and cafés, or swipe into the Hot Spot or DüB, NAU’s all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, any time. Unlimited plan meals may be used in the Hot Spot and the DüB, but do not provide transfer special options in retail locations.

Meal plan options

Whether you live on campus or off, there’s a meal plan built for you. Pick what fits your lifestyle, from full access to flexible swipe options.

About Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are flexible funds you can use like cash at any campus dining location. They come with every plan, and you can buy more anytime. Unused Dining Dollars roll over from fall to spring, so they won’t go to waste.

How to buy and manage your meal plan

Meal plans are billed to your LOUIE account. You can pay all at once or split it into three payments per semester through Student and Departmental Account Services.
