Effective June 1, Bulldog Bucks will no longer be accepted as a payment method for Uber. This integration is no longer being supported by Blackboard, and is being phased out at all colleges and universities this summer.

Feel free to use your Bulldog Bucks for Uber rides until June 1. Bulldog Bucks can also be used at any campus dining location, laundry facilities, the University Bookstore, or for additional print funds. As a reminder, Bulldog Bucks are not cleared over the summer, so any unused funds will be waiting for you when you return in the fall. Graduating students do NOT get a refund for excess funds in this account, so if you are leaving Drake, please plan to use the funds before June 1.

For questions, contact the Student Services Center at 515-271-2000 or studentservices@drake.edu.
