Using the Cougar Cupboard
The Cougar Cupboard functions similarly to a grocery store. After checking in, students may browse the shelves for their desired items; frozen and refrigerated items are also available in coolers. Limits may be placed on certain items due to limited quantity.
Once finished choosing their items, students must use our free checkout and be ready to provide their PeopleSoft ID# and their Food Scholarship ID#. Every student may receive up to 30 lbs of groceries each week: the poundage resets every Monday.
Help Us Be Sustainable!
Bags are available at the Cougar Cupboard, but everyone who brings a reusable bag is automatically entered into a biweekly raffle for a special prize.
Don't have a reusable bag? No problem! Each student can receive one reusable bag from the Cougar Cupboard.
