Off-Campus Students
UMKC offers meal plans for commuter students and those living off-campus who wish to access campus dining locations.

Second Helping Policy:
When redeeming your Second Helping, you will not receive an additional beverage cup. However, you are welcome to refill your original cup as many times within the same meal period. Please retain your original cup for this purpose.
A valid Roo Card must be presented at both the initial meal swipe and the Second Helping redemption.
