The Cougar Card becomes a personal debit card when you open a Cougar Cash Account. The Cougar Cash Account allows you to draw on pre-deposited funds to purchase products and services on campus. To make a purchase, simply present your Cougar Card at any participating location and the funds will be withdrawn from your account. You can access your balance and 60 days of transaction history on Cougar Trail. Log on as an employee, under the personal information tab select Cougar Card Mini-Statement or obtain a complete account statement at Cougar Card Services.
