Cougar Bucks

Cougar Bucks are a handy way to purchase food and beverages anywhere on campus. Whether you need a bottle of water for a workout, a latte for a study session, a snack between classes, or an extra meal, all you need is a Cougar Bucks account and your student ID. It's easy to open an account or deposit additional money.

How It Works

Your meal plan, Flex Dollars, and Cougar Bucks are encoded onto your student ID card. Whenever you use any of the University's dining services, a scan of your ID card records the transaction and deducts the correct amount. You can check your current balance on the cash register display

Meal Plan Requirement and Availability

All students who live on campus are required to purchase a meal plan each semester. While commuter students are not required to have a meal plan, many find that it's the most economical and convenient way to dine on campus.

Meal Memberships

Meal Memberships provide you with a specific number of meals throughout the semester, plus extra money to use at campus retail locations. Meal Memberships are perfect for students living on campus, or for commuter students who spend at lot of time on campus. Meal Memberships provide the most economical way to eat on campus – the value cannot be beat!
