1. The Card
You must present your own QCard in order to purchase products or services. The QCard can be used at all participating locations on and off campus. The QCard is the property of Quinnipiac university and is non-transferable. The QCard may be deactivated and retained by a Quinnipiac university official when presented by any cardholder making inappropriate or illegal use of it. Misuse, alteration, or destruction of the QCard may result in disciplinary action. Restitution is required for overdrafts on any account resulting from off-line transactions. No interest or other earnings will be paid to the cardholder or credited by Quinnipiac University.
2. Photos
Under FERPA regulations, photo images on the QCard may be used by school officials with legitimate educational interests and by others as indicated.
3. Dining Service Options
Resident students and commuter students (undergrad, grad, law and medical) students who spend a significant time on campus are required to be on a meal plan. A predetermined amount of food dollars is automatically put on this account each semester and can only be used at on-campus dining locations. Unused food dollars in the student's declining balance account at the end of the fall semester are non-refundable and will be carried over for use in the spring semester. There is no carry-over between academic years, nor may the unused balance from the fall semester be used to reduce the room and board portion of the spring semester's invoice. If there is a remaining balance at the end of the spring semester it will be cleared from students' accounts.
4. Transfer of Meal Points
The university will not enter into the negotiation between students regarding the sale of any portion of the required meal plan; we only record the results of the exchange. Students in the following categories will not be able to sell their points: a) Student athletes being funded by the Athletic Department: N.C.A.A. regulations preclude the same. b) Students who have used their financial aid to pay for their residence fees, including required meal plan. c) Resident Assistants. Students who have been granted a meal plan waiver by the Office of Student Accessibility may not receive a transfer of meal points from another student. Requests for transfers will be received beginning on the first business days after the end of the add/drop registration period for the fall term. The last day to request a transfer is on the last Friday of classes for the spring term. Each student is limited to a total of five requests to send points per term. A student may only request to send points they have on their account at the time of the transfer request. Students who request to transfer more points than they have in their account will have the excess charged to their student account.
A patron-to-patron transfer is complete only after final verification and action by the Technology Center. Transfer of required meal points may only occur to and from students who are currently enrolled in the required meal plan. Students may request meal point transfers by visiting the QCard page on MyQ. Faculty/Staff and students not enrolled in the required meal plan may not purchase required meal points from students. Please note that any balance left on the required meal plan at the end of the spring semester is not refundable and will be cleared from the account at the end of the spring semester. Please plan your deposits and usage accordingly.
5. Receipts and Statements
Most point-of-sale terminals are equipped to provide a receipt for each transaction. It is your responsibility to ensure that the receipt is correct. An account statement listing recent transactions will be generated upon your personal request at the Technology Center or on the QCard page on MyQ.
6. Lost, Stolen or Damaged Cards
Since Public Safety acts as the lost and found on campus, please contact them first to ensure that your card has not been turned in.
Cardholder is responsible for immediately deactivating their card from within the Card Services section of eAccounts.
Cardholder is responsible for any loss due to lost or stolen cards. Once a new QCard has been purchased, the old QCard will be invalid and, if found, cannot be reactivated. You must come to the Technology Center during business hours to obtain a new QCard. We will charge the current fee for replacing lost, stolen or damaged cards.
Terms and conditions are subject to change.
