The University of Idaho will discontinue its Vandals Dollars Program beginning June 30.
According to a news release, the program is no longer the most convenient method of payment on campus with the rise of personal credit and debit card payment technology, and states “the service is no longer used as it once was, and sustaining it doesn’t make good business sense for the future.”
The program previously loaded money onto a Vandal Card — a debit-like card — which could then be used for campus-only purchases and services. Vandal Dollars had been available on campus for nearly 20 years.
Leftover dollars will be applied to any outstanding balance on a university account, and dollars may also be withdrawn at the Cashiers Office in the Bruce M. Pitman Center if no balance.
