Cashless Catering System

Get exclusive offers and incentives in cafes and coffee shops across campus when you sign up to cashless catering. You can use your TUSC card to grab lunch or a coffee even if you haven’t got any cash on you.

5 steps to cashless catering

  1. Register your security details at myaccess.tees.ac.uk, then select Cashless/MyPrint Registration (if you are already registered for MyPrint you will still need to register for Cashless).
  2. Your Cashless account will be activated within 1 hour and you can top-up your account the following day.
  3. Anyone can top-up your cashless credit using a valid debit or credit Card (min £5, max £100) by visiting payonline.tees.ac.uk/cashless. They will need to know your user ID (printed on the front of your TUSC) and your date of birth.
  4. You can find out your current credit balance by scanning your card at any of the catering outlets on campus (Middlesbrough or Darlington). When you make a cashless purchase the remaining balance is printed on the bottom of your receipt.
  5. If your card is lost or stolen you can cancel it by visiting myaccess.tees.ac.uk and following the links. Once you have obtained a new card it should be ready to use for cashless purchases. Your credit balance will automatically be transferred to the new card.
