Inactive Accounts

Should one calendar year pass in which no transactions take place and the cardholder is not a registered student or employee of Ohio University (Athens Campus), the balance of the Bobcat Cash account will be forfeited.

Account Balance & Refund Policy

Bobcat Cash account balances will automatically carry over to each new quarter and/or academic year, provided the cardholder remains a registered student or employee of Ohio University.

Requests for refunds must be made in writing to the Director of Housing. Refunds will be applied to other amounts owed the university and a check for the balance will be mailed within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the refund request. A processing fee of $20.00 will be assessed for refunds.

Account Documentation & Disclosures

Cardholders are entitled to a printout of any and all transactions of their Bobcat Cash account. Requests for documentation should be made at the ID, Housing or Dining Service locations.

The university will only disclose information about Bobcat Cash accounts to third parties when it is necessary for completing transactions; in order to comply with government agencies, internal university investigations, or any court orders; or with written permission from the cardholder.
