Room & Board Payments
All students who register for classes from early registration through the first week of the semester will be issued an email billing statement notification. This email will be sent to the student's UNK email account (LoperMail) at the beginning of the second week of the term. Paper billing statements will not be mailed. Students will access their billing statement on MyBLUE.  For more information on billing due dates, please check the Student Accounts page. For more information on meal plans, check out

Meal Plan Rates 2025-2026 (Per Semester Rates)

Students have busy schedules.  UNK Dining makes it easy to avoid meal prep and dishes by providing convenient meal plans for students. Choose a Meal Plan with a designated number of visits to the main dining centers, as well as dollars for campus restaurants and coffee shops, all within walking distance. Note: Our contract system can only see current credits completed. If you are signing a contract anticipating to be at 28 (sophomore) or 58 (junior) credits, for the upcoming year, you'll need to log back into the contract after grades have been posted and credits completed to change the meal plan.

Block Meals – Use your Block Meals at the Graze located upstairs in the Student Union. Visit as often as you want until meals are exhausted. If you want to enjoy the made-from-scratch cooking in the dining hall with the convenience of take-out, ask about the To Go program. This is an all you care to eat option.

Dining Dollars- Use at retail options such as Chick-Fil-A, Starbucks, and Subway to enhance your experiences on campus.  

Meal Plan Requirement
Please note: All students who live in the residence halls during the academic year (fall and spring semesters) are required to select a meal plan option. Board plans are optional during the summer term only. View more information on Meal Plans
