Most students do not need to do anything - dining on campus is so easy and convenient, we’ve put it on autopilot. Each fall and spring semester, any student who is classified full-time and taking at least 9 credit hours on the Belknap campus is automatically assigned a meal plan according to where he or she lives. This plan is preloaded on the Cardinal Card ID, charged to the tuition account and becomes active on move-in day.

The meal plan is accepted at all campus dining venues and Flavours Catering, University of Louisville’s experienced dining services catering provider. Meal plan flex points earn a 6 percent discount on every purchase and you never have to worry about fees or overdraft charges.

Determine Your Meal Plan

While there are three pricing tiers according to where you live, there are several plan structures within each tier so that you may customize your plan to fit your lifestyle at no extra cost. Before each semester, complete the Meal Plan Selection Form on the Cardinal Card web site. If you miss the deadline, you can add flex points or purchase blocks of 10 meals at any time.

The Value of Having a Meal Plan:

Ville Grill Guest Meals: Use a meal swipe from your plan to let a friend or family member experience the community dining experience at the Ville Grill. Please note: You must be present and use one of your meals at the same time as your guest and you are only permitted to use one guest meal per visit.

Save Money - You save 6 percent every time you use your flex points!

Balance Tracking - With any transaction ask for a receipt stating your available meals and flex points.
