Your ID can be used at any campus dining venue, at any vending, laundry, or copy machine on campus and at the UPJ Bookstore and Convenience Store.

CAMPUS VENDING
The smaller strip on the back of the ID Card is for Campus Vending. This strip may be used for laundry machines, vending machines, and copiers on campus. Up to $20.00 can transferred to the vending strip, which is the maximum balance that can be maintained on that strip at any given time. Money can be transferred using the following options:
- Cash-to-Card
- There are Revalue Stations located in the Student Union (across from the Information desk), the Owen Library, and the LLC Laundry Room.
- Once you insert your ID card, you then insert your cash into the Bill Acceptor. Wait for the Station to update the balance on your card. Your card will then be ejected and ready to use.
- Mountain Cat Cash Account-to-Vending
- If you already have money in your Mountain Cat Cash Account, you may take your ID card to one of the Revalue Stations and transfer money onto your vending strip.
- Or you can take your ID card to the ID Center, located in 115 Biddle Hall, to have the money transferred for you.
** NOTE: Any money transferred to the Campus Vending Account is NOT refundable!
