Campus Dining Options

Meal plans that fit your lifestyle

EKU students can manage expenses and enjoy healthy, nourishing meals that fit their lifestyles using a two-component meal plan. Both meal components start on the first day of Big E Welcome Week in the fall semester and move-in weekend of the spring semester, and are accessed through your Colonel Card.

  • All-you-care-to-eat meals at the campus cafeteria, Case Kitchen, combination meals at Stratton Café, and the Colonel Grill. Often referred to as “meal swipes.”
  • Flex can be spent at any campus dining location.

Meal Plan Options


All full-time undergraduate students under the age of 21, having earned fewer than 60 credit hours, or less than four academic semesters living on campus, are required to live in University residence hall facilities and must choose one of the residential meal plans. If you do not enroll in a meal plan, the minimum plan will be assigned to you at the beginning of the academic term (5-Day All Access with 300 flex).

All other EKU undergraduate students with 2 credit hours or more in on-campus courses are required to participate in the flex program. The minimum plan, $300 flex, will be assigned and charged to the student account at the beginning of the academic term. At the end of the academic year (spring semester), students who were assigned this plan may request a refund of any unused flex. This refund window opens on May 15 and closes on June 16. Eligible students will receive an email to their EKU student account prior to this window with more detailed instructions.

Please Note: Flex is only refundable from the $300 plan, flex will not be refunded from any other plan, including the $500 flex plan or any of the packaged meal plans.

Meal plans that include the + option offer the opportunity to use a meal swipe for a preset combination meal at branded campus dining locations. The + option is limited to one per day, Sunday through Thursday, between 7:00 PM and closing at participating locations.

*Flex added from Flex Boost is non-refundable. Flex Boost enrollments may be added at any time during the fall or spring semester. The Flex Boost enrollment price will be added to the student’s EKU account.

Flex Boost is similar to automatic flex and will expire at the end of the academic year and flex boost funds are nonrefundable.

You can enroll through your MyEKU portal. Under Card Services and Dining, select Meal Plan and Flex Boost Enrollments. The flex boost enrollment page will display all previous enrollments from the current semester.

All plans are designed to rollover from academic year to academic year, semester to semester. No need to worry about when your plan ends. All plans are valid at Case Kitchen, Colonel Grill, and Stratton Cafe.
