The service is called Purple Pass.  Just deposit money on your card to start using it to purchase internal products and services throughout our WSU Campus Community.

It’s Purple Pass, simple and easy to use, with the convenience of not having to carry cash with you.  Please visit the following website for further information:  http://www.winona.edu/campuscard/purplepass.asp.

WSU does not offer housing accommodations for couples. Graduate students are encouraged to seek off-campus housing, but are welcome to live on campus, per availability. The Housing Office will make every effort to place graduate students with upper-level undergraduate students or other graduate students, where possible. Housing assignments are issued by the date the Application for Housing is received.
