Using laundry services

Augustana uses a card-based system for laundry machines in the residence halls. The Transitional Living Areas use a coin-operated laundry.

To buy a laundry card, go to the Office of Residential Life in Andreen Hall, or use one of the three Value Adder Plus Terminal machines in the Westerlin Residence Center, Swanson Commons, or the Gerber Center.

To replace a damaged card, request a refund, or report damaged clothing, go to the Office of Residential Life. No refunds will be given for lost cards.
