How do I use CyCash to make purchases?

You can pay for goods and services with CyCash at a variety of campus locations, including the Department of Residence C-stores, dining centers, and laundry facilities. Purchases are made by swiping the ISUCard through a reader. This will deduct the amount of your purchase from your CyCash account and indicate your CyCash balance.
