Govs Bucks

Govs Bucks is an optional debit account linked to your Govs ID Card. Deposit funds into your account and use your Govs ID Card to pay at dining facilities, vending machines, the Austin Peay Bookstore, and Pharos print release stations across campus.

Govs Bucks vs. Flex Dollars

Both Govs Bucks and Flex Dollars can be used at APSU dining facilities, but they work differently. Flex Dollars come with the purchase of a meal plan. When making a purchase at a food location, your meal plan and Flex Dollars are used first. If you have no meal plan or Flex Dollars, the purchase is deducted from your Govs Bucks. Purchases at vending machines, the bookstore, and other non-meal locations come from Govs Bucks only.
