IMPORTANT UPDATES TO THE CRIMSON CASH PROGRAM
Starting July 1, 2024
Harvard’s Crimson Cash program, which allows community members to add value to a Harvard ID-based declining balance account and make purchases on and around campus (i.e. dining, laundry, vending, etc.) will soon be phased out. This decision was made in close consultation with University partners and stakeholders and based on significantly reduced utilization of the program due to the evolving purchasing habits of the Harvard community. The Crimson Cash program will be retired in three distinct phases oulined below:
