Our goal is to enable students, faculty and staff to access many services on campus using their Tiger Card (the UWA ID card). The Tiger Card is currently used for the Young Cafeteria (with a valid meal plan), printing and copying in the library and computer labs, Starbucks, Subway, Burgers + Fries, University Cinema, laundry (Gilbert, Stickney, Hoover), specific Coke-brand vending machines and off-campus merchants. The Tiger Card also serves as the University library card.
Say goodbye to physical cards and hello to seamless access with Tiger Card Mobile Credentials! Accessing facilities, purchasing meals, and enjoying campus perks has never been easier. Simply download the Transact eAccounts app, sign in with your UWA credentials, and experience the freedom of going mobile.
- Convenience: Access facilities, dorms, and more with just a tap.
- Security: Your credentials are encrypted and secured with advanced technology.
- Flexibility: No more worrying about lost or forgotten cards — your phone is all you need.
- Instant Updates: Easily manage your account, add, funds, and view transaction history on the go.

Tiger Card Usage
During the Fall and Spring semesters, students taking seven (7) or more on campus credit hours will receive Tiger Bucks ($100.00) and Dining Dollars ($250.00). Tiger Bucks and Dining Dollars are debit-like accounts, accessed using the Tiger Card.
Tiger Bucks can be used everywhere while Dining Dollars can only be used at Young Cafeteria, Starbucks, Subway and Burgers + Fries. Tiger Bucks roll over from semester to semester and are always available to you. However, any unused Dining Dollars are swept at the end of the Spring semester, so make sure you spend them!
Any questions can be directed to tigercard@uwa.edu or call (205) 652-3565, option 2.
