Laundry Points FAQs

Do laundry points roll over?

When the semester starts, you receive all of your laundry points to be used for that semester. 

What happens if I don’t use my points?

Laundry points are sufficient for washing your clothes throughout the semester, and the University provides this service at no cost to our students. 

What if I run out of Laundry Points?

If you go beyond two large loads per week, you will need to use Bison Bucks for laundry for the remainder of the semester.

Can I wash my friend’s laundry using my laundry points?

As a resident student, you are provided a set amount of laundry points for your use.  It is not intended for non-residents. 

What if a machine is not working?
