Vending machine transition
|
Snack vending machines on campus will switch providers between semesters, which will cause a slight increase in prices. The provider selected was the best overall proposal to the University, and it also offered the best individual snack item pricing. The machines will be placed in the same locations as current machines and will have a similar variety of snacks. You will still be able to pay with cash or credit card. For more information or questions, contact Joe White at josephsw@uta.edu.
