What is a “Jacket Cash Account”?

• A Jacket Cash Account is a declining cash balance account that allows you to use your UW-Superior ID card to “purchase” food and non-alcoholic beverages in the Union Cafe, Brick Oven Grille, and Jacket Java at discounted prices.

Why Should You Have a Jacket Cash Account?

• It’s convenient! When on campus, you can stop in for a latte, a snack or a full meal. WE do the grocery shopping, cooking, and the dishes!
• It’s safe! In addition to the ease and flexibility it offers, a Jacket Cash Account eliminates the need to carry U.S. dollars and reduces the risk of theft. Each time you make a purchase, our computer reads your UW-Superior ID and subtracts the correct amount from your available balance. Your new balance is displayed after each purchase and a detailed account of your transactions can be provided upon request.
• You’ll save money!
  1. Student customers do not pay sales tax on food and non-alcoholic beverage purchases.
  2. All Jacket Cash customers receive discounted prices for Union Cafe meals, and 5% off purchases in the Brick Oven Grille, and Jacket Java, excluding alcoholic beverages.

Continuing students may carry voluntary Jacket Cash over from fall to spring semesters. Otherwise, VOLUNTARY JACKET CASH AND ALL MEAL PLAN JACKET CASH MUST BE USED IN THE DINING SERVICES by the end of the semester in which it was purchased. Continuing employees may carry Faculty/Staff Jacket Cash over from semester to semester. Jacket Cash is not refundable.
