VCash policies
- The V-Cash account is available to every member of the Vassar community: students, faculty, staff and administrators.
- The V-Cash account remains active for the duration of a student's academic career.
- All funds stay in your account until it is closed upon graduation or when a student withdraws from the college. If an account is greater than $5.00 or less than zero, the amount will be applied automatically to the student's college account. (This differs from your meal plan and declining balance accounts, both of which close at the end of each academic year.)
