Commuter Student Dining

Are you a commuter student or a parent of one?

Then you've come to the right place!

Each student living on campus has a meal plan to ensure he or she is always just a few steps away from their next sandwich, slice of pizza, coffee or soft drink.  But just because commuter students don’t eat three meals a day on campus doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy the same benefits of a meal plan.  That’s where Cougar Cash comes to the rescue!

So, what are the benefits of Cougar Cash?

  • Security – No need to carry cash.  Already earmarked funds for dining on campus are set aside waiting for you to get hungry!
  • Convenience – All campus dining venues are conveniently located within a short walking distance on campus.  No need to lose your parking space at lunch time!
  • Experience – Dining on campus provides commuters with added opportunity to make new friends with fellow commuters and resident students which can lead to becoming engaged in student activities, organizations and clubs. 

How does Cougar Cash work?

Cougar Cash is available for purchase via CLAWS (Self-Service) on mySXU. It is loaded onto your Cougar Card and you simply present your card at any campus dining location for payment, similar to a debit card.  When your balance is low return to CLAWS (Self-Service) on mySXU to load it up again.  Login via CLAWS (Self-Service) on mySXU and get your paws on Cougar Cash today!
