The Department of Residence Life areas have several soda/pop and snack machines located in various areas: Homer Butler Commons has a vending area with both soda/pop and snacks for sale in the kitchen; both residence halls have a vending area located on their 1st floor, Founders Residence Hall has an additional area near the Esports & Classroom Lounge; Lincoln Residence Hall has an outdoor vending area near its patio seating area; and Marigold Court and Pennyroyal Court have a vending area located in their laundry rooms.

All machines should be able to take the UIS iCard or American currency.  If you are using your iCard, you will need to make sure funds are on your card in order to activate any machines.  When using cash, the machine will accept any denomination of US coin except pennies and single $1 US currency bills. Foreign monies are not accepted.

All machines are owned and maintained by an outside contractor called HOI Vending. The Department of Residence Life Facilities cannot service these machines and any student that has an issue with a vending area should reach out directly to HOI Vending by calling them at (866)-HOI-VEND or emailing them at service@hoivend.com. Refunds are issued directly from HOI Vending.

Please do not attempt to submit DRL Work Order Requests for vending area machines.
