Message from the Bursar

The Office of the Bursar will remain closed to in-person interactions until further notice due to COVID-19. However, all staff members are working remotely and available for business needs. A few staff members work in the office several days per week to process deposits and mailed payments.  Departments that interact with the Bursar may already be familiar with these processes, but we are sharing this with all customers as we move into our first ever remote fall term opening. These guidelines have been put into place to assist departments with daily processing. 

Deposits: 

Place deposits in the drop box located inside the south entrance doors on the ground floor of Chubb Hall (Court Street side of the building). Seal the deposit or payment in an envelope or bag with appropriate identifying information (e.g. deposit form, Cashnet deposit report, account number, PCard refund form, etc.).  A receipt will be emailed if an email address is provided. Deposit bags will be returned via campus mail with a receipt enclosed, so please include your campus address with the deposit.  If your department is a frequent depositor, we suggest that you purchase additional deposit bags so you have a rotating stock.

Cash:

Students are no longer permitted to make payment toward their student account with cash. The collection of cash across campus should be discouraged if possible. Please email us at cashier@ohio.edu for assistance with reducing or eliminating cash collections.

Change requests:

Departmental change requests should be emailed to cashier@ohio.edu at least two business days prior to the need.  Several departments are going cashless for fall, 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.

eMarkets:

An eMarket may be an option for your collection needs.   If the information provided does not meet your specific need, reach out to us at cashier@ohio.edu so we can review your business need and offer options.

Stay safe Bobcats!
