VCash policies
- The VCash account is available to every member of the Vassar community: students, faculty, staff and administrators.
- The VCash 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, which closes at the end of each academic year.)
