The terms “we”, “us” and the “University” refer to Gonzaga University. The term “card” refers to the ZAGCARD. The term “Bulldog Bucks” refers to funds placed on a person’s ZAGCARD.

Student Use of the ZAGCARD

You are the only person authorized to use your card. Any use by a person other than the cardholder will be subject to University disciplinary sanctions. The sanctions may be brought against both the cardholder and the person impersonating the cardholder. The card is non-transferable and is the property of the University. You are responsible for use of the card in accordance with instructions at each location where Bulldog Bucks are accepted. Your card must be carried when on University property and presented upon request. Your card  must be returned to Campus Card Services upon request. All functionality, with the exception of Bulldog Bucks, of the card will cease upon graduation, withdrawal, or dismissal from the University.

Bulldog Bucks

Placing funds on your ZAGCARD account creates a declining balance account. There is no earned interest associated with your account. Funds deposited in your account are non-transferable. Deposits will be posted to the cardholder’s account for immediate use. The cardholder is responsible for all attempted deposits that do not clear as well as purchases made against any such attempted deposit. Rejected deposits will be immediately removed from your account, and your account will be charged a returned transaction fee. The University reserves the right to place accounts on hold in the event a deposit is returned or rejected.

If you attempt to use your card when there are insufficient funds available, the transaction will be denied. If a transaction is approved despite the lack of sufficient funds, causing a negative balance, you agree to pay the negative balance to the University within 10 days of the transaction. In the event you do not bring your account current within 10 days, you agree to pay any and all expenses incurred in the collection of the negative balance, including reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and other sums due and payable. 

The University will not deduct funds from your account other than in accordance with transactions authorized through the use of your card or as permitted under these Terms and Conditions. No statements are periodically issued for the account. To view your account history, login to Zagweb select the ZAGCARD tab.

Lost or Stolen Cards

If you believe your card has been lost or stolen, login to Zagweb and freeze your card AT ONCE. There is no fee assessed to freeze your card. A replacement fee will be assessed for any re-issued card.

The ZAGCARD is not branded by any major credit card issuer and does not offer the same consumer protection if your card is lost or stolen.

Setoff of Student Account Funds

With notice from the University, the balance in your account shall be subject to setoff against any student account amounts you owe the University.

Complete the Refund Request Form or the Gift Form found on the ZAGCARD website. When possible, refunds will be processed using the original form of payment.

Termination of Bulldog Bucks

The University may, for any reason, decide to discontinue the ZAGCARD declining balance account program or transfer its administration to an entity the University deems qualified to manage the program.
