Meal Plans
Meal plans are available for nearly every student at Azusa Pacific University (APU). All freshmen living in APU’s residence halls are required to have at least a 180 block meal plan. Meal plans are used through the students’ ID card and can be used at all eating locations. To sign up for a meal plan, please log in to Cougars’ Den and click on Meal Plan Sign-up or stop by the One Card Office to fill out a contract.

Dining Dollars
Dining Dollars are automatically included in the purchase of a student meal plan; they may not be purchased separately. They are used from a declining balance account through the student ID card at all Hospitality Services locations. Dining Dollars can be used for the current semester only; any unused monies will be lost at the end of each semester.
Guest Meals
Guest Meals can be used for family or friends when visiting an APU student. Guests must be accompanied by an APU student with a valid meal plan to use a Guest Meal. These meals are swiped from the student’s ID card in the same manner as their regular meals; make sure to specify to the cashier that you are using a guest meal.
Cougar Bucks
Students and/or parents can deposit money into an account called Cougar Bucks. The student ID card is used to access this as well as meal plans. Deposits for Cougar Bucks can be made with cash, check, or credit card at the Cashier’s Office, the University Bookstore, or the One Card Office located in Cougars’ Den Café. There must be a minimum $20 deposit each time and there are no cash withdrawals. Cougar Bucks are not transferable.
Cougar Bucks can be used at all Hospitality Services venues, the University Bookstore, the Computer Store, Duplicating Services and Graphics Center, Trinity Laundry Room, and selected vending machines around campus.
A statement of transactions can be obtained using a request form available at the One Card Office located in Cougars’ Den Café. All transactions debited through the ID card are final at the point and time of sale. It is the responsibility of the cardholder to keep a record of each card transaction.
Lost or Damaged ID Cards
If a student ID card is lost or stolen it can be replaced for $20. Lost cards should be reported to the One Card Office. Contact the One Card Office at (626) 815-3833 or onecard@apu.edu. Damaged ID cards can also be replaced for $20.
