Three Account Options

There are three different Wiscard accounts and since you can participate in more than one, it’s easy to find the best fit for your life on campus.

Campus Cash: Our most versatile account is accepted anywhere you see the Wiscard logo.
Union Meal: A meal plan account for faculty, staff and students who do not live in a residence hall that offers food service.
Housing Food: A food service account available only to undergraduate students living in University Residence Halls.

Campus Cash
Accepted at any location where you see the Wiscard logo, this account offers maximum flexibility, plus a savings of 5.5% for enrolled students on food purchases at restaurant and deli locations across campus. A minimum deposit of $10 is all it takes to get you started.

Use Campus Cash for:

  • Clothing, school supplies, bus tickets, theater events, movies, billiards, bowling and more at Memorial Union and Union South
  • Textbooks and much more at the University Book Store and Underground Textbook Exchange
  • Course materials at the Humanities and Social Sciences Copy Centers
  • Computer supplies at the DoIT Tech Store and UBS Digital Outpost
    Desktop delivery of articles owned by UW-Madison Libraries

Union Meal
Eat on campus often? Save money and time with the Wisconsin Union's meal plan, a terrific complement to a Campus Cash account. The Union Meal account is the only campus meal plan available to students who do not live in a residence hall. A minimum deposit of $400 for an academic year is required.

The Union Meal account is:

  • Accepted at over 14 Wisconsin Union Restaurants and Delis located across campus
  • A great deal! Students save 10.5% on food purchases at all Union Restaurants and Delis. Faculty and staff save 5% on food purchases at the Union Restaurants and Delis.
  • Available to students, faculty and staff

Wisconsin Union dining locations offer grilled specialties, Mexican entrees, soups, salads, sandwiches, made-to-order stirfrys, and more. Get a quick bite to eat from any of our "grab and go" delis or enjoy a meal in one of our restaurants.

Please note: The Union Meal account is not intended for students living in a residence hall that offers meals or food service.
