Now it's easier to do your laundry on campus with the new ID card readers available for all on-campus laundry services.
"It's official. Everything works," said Holly Herlinger, housing coordinator. "I'm so excited."
As of last Wednesday Drury residential students can now use their student ID cards to pay for laundry services, instead of quarters. To use a laundry machine, simply swipe your ID through the machine and follow the directions.
The card swipe service had been advertised to students since last summer, but has taken a while to get off the ground.
"Kim Roberts in Technology services has been working one on one with Jets [laundry service] to get this done. And she's done a fabulous job," Herlinger said. "We are very appreciative of her."
Drury students have had a positive response to this more convenient payment system as well.
"I like it better because I don't have to be searching for quarters that I already spent at McDonalds," said Nicole Harshman, freshman in Sunderland Hall. "I think they're a good thing as long as they keep working."
To put money on ID cards, students can go to the business office in Burnham Hall and deposit checks or cash onto their card account. But make sure to specify you want the money in debit dollars. If you put money on the card as panther bucks, then it can only be used for meal plans.
