Vending
Auxiliary Services operates a variety of vending machines at locations throughout campus. Machines are equipped to accept cash – coins and one dollar bills (five dollar bills in some machines) – and as an added convenience to vending customers, the UNC One Card may be used for vending in numerous buildings across campus (locations with card readers accept Expense Plan funds only, not money from Meal Plans).
Campus vending provides students, faculty, staff and visitors a wide selection of fresh, convenient, and reasonably priced food, beverage, and assorted products. Available vending products include: soft drinks, bottled water, juice, coffee, candy, snacks, pastries and cold/microwaveable selections.
