Dining Information
Where will I eat?
During your Alive! session you will secure a CougarCard which is your "passport to life at WSU." You will use it for everything from checking out books at the library to bus access to your key to Olympia Avenue Residence Hall. You can also use this card for meal purchases on campus. The money you deposit on the CougarCard will carry forward to the fall semester. You may use cash to purchase meals if you choose not to deposit money on your CougarCard. You will need cash/debit card for weekend food purchases as there are no regularly scheduled meals on campus.
