Okra Green Anywhere Policy

  • The Okra Green Dining Only and Okra Green Anywhere discretionary spending debit accounts are accounts of pre-deposited funds accessed by the cardholder for products and services. These accounts should not be confused with the Dining Services Meal Plans and Flex Dollars attached to those meal plans.
  • The Okra Green debit accounts will be activated automatically upon receipt of an initial deposit by cash, check or credit card. If the cardholder’s check is returned for non-payment (NSF), a $30.00 service charge will be assessed on the cardholder’s account and the account will be automatically suspended. The account will not be reactivated until the NSF check is reconciled and all appropriate fees have been reimbursed to the University.
  • Parents/patrons may telephone Student Business Services (SBS) to add funds to the Okra Green debit accounts. The SBS will accept Discover, MasterCard, American Express, and Visa. Parents/patrons may add cash onto their Okra Green Debit accounts by visiting the Cash Value Center in the Roberts-LaForge Library and the Nowell Student Union or by visiting Student Business Services, Kent Wyatt Hall Office 131.  Parents/patrons may add funds to the Okra Green Debit Accounts by visiting the University’s website at j69n.yilunjianshe.com, MyDSU, and click on the Okra Kard.
  • These funds shall be applied against amounts debited to the cardholder’s Okra Green Anywhere accounts for goods and services purchased at point-of-sale locations and Lyric cash registers/readers. There is no daily limit on the number of purchases made available. The cardholder understands and agrees the Okra Kard is currently not a credit card, nor can it be used to obtain cash or cash advances from the account under any circumstances.
  • Merchandise will be accepted for return according to the refund policy in force where the goods and services were purchased. Cash refunds will not be made for returned merchandise that was purchased with the Okra Kard. A credit will be made to the cardholder’s account.
  • Statements of account are available upon request at Student Business Services and on the 24/7 Okra Kard Online Office.
  • Account Inactivity – Okra Green Debit Accounts can remain active indefinitely.  Okra Green Accounts that remain inactive for a period of six (6) months will be charged a $1.00 per month inactive fee for each inactive month thereafter.
  • Upon official withdrawal/graduation or termination of employment from the University, the cardholder may request his/her account be closed. $5.00 will be retained for processing the check. The request must be in writing to Student Business Services. All debts to the University must be satisfied prior to a check being processed for a refund. Any negative Okra Green Debit Accounts balances will be charged to the cardholders Student Account, or billed directly to the cardholder.
