What is the Flex Points Advantage? Flex Points help your Meal Plan*, and your money, go further. Not only are they valid at all Campus Courts/Dining Halls, Cafés and Grab ‘N Go’s, Flex Points are also valid at Baker University Center retail locations.**

Bobcat Cash is money put on an account (similar to a prepaid debit card) that can be used at the Dining Courts/Halls, Campus Markets, vending machines, laundry centers and various on campus dining and retail operations.

Bobcat Cash cannot be used off-campus, does not allow for cash withdrawals and cannot be used to purchase textbooks.  

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

A minimum deposit of $50 is needed to activate your Bobcat Cash account. For more information please visit the residential housing page.
