Requests for ship to home locations are to be approved by the Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (CFAO) for your planning unit. Finance no longer approves ship to home location requests.
Human Resources has established the following guidance for ship to home locations.
When you make the request to the CFAO please provide them the following information:
1. What items are being purchased
2. Who are the items being purchased for
3. What is the business necessity of the items to be shipped to a non-university location
This is necessary so that the CFAO has all the information they need to make a determination on your request and ensure that any university asset that leaves a campus location is properly tracked and recorded.
Please be aware that many of our suppliers cannot or will not ship to a non-university address for various reasons (i.e. because they carry restricted items or because the supplier technology cannot handle home addresses on a business account). All purchases must still be in compliance with policy and procedure.
The Office of the Bursar will be closed for in-person interactions until further notice. Inquiries can be made via email (bursar@ohio.edu) or by phone (740-593-4130).
Deposits and customer payments can be placed in the drop box located inside the south entrance doors on the ground floor of Chubb Hall (Court Street side of the building). Please seal the deposit or payment in an envelope or bag with appropriate identifying information (e.g. student name and PID number, customer number and invoice number, deposit description and account number). A receipt will be emailed to you if you provide an email address with the deposit information.Til
Departmental change requests should be emailed to cashier@ohio.edu at least two business days prior to the need. Many of the university departments have gone cashless since COVID-19 began, so our tender supplies will be limited. Bear in mind that there is currently a coin shortage in the US. With these two factors in play, we may not be able to fulfill all change requests as timely or in the desired denominations. We will do our best, but we are subject to the shortages as well.
Foundation deposits can be made between 8-4 in Claire Oates Ping Cottage. If the building is not staffed, there is a secure mail slot in the front door for after-hours deposits.
