All faculty and staff must also have an RSU Hillcat Card which will be issued at time of employment.
The Hillcat Card is free for the initial card and $20 for replacements. The Hillcat Card office is located at:

All Students, Faculty and Staff are eligible to receive a Hillcat Card. Students must be enrolled at the University and faculty and staff must be currently employed.

No. Your card is valid as long as you are currently enrolled or employed. In the case of a name change, number change, or status change (ie, student to staff), simply bring in the old card and a new card will be printed for you, with the new information on it, at no charge.
The Hillcat card may be used to purchase products or services at locations accepting the card as payment, providing funds have been deposited and are available in the account. Your Hillcat Card is not a credit card. You must first have funds deposited into a Stored Value Account before you can use the card to purchase items at locations which accept the Hillcat Card. Below are the types of Stored Value Accounts and detail of their use:
- Cat Cash: Cat Cash is allowed to be used by faculty, staff and enrolled students. Deposits can be made to your Cat Cash account at the Bursar’s Office or online at https://rsu-sp.blackboard.com/eaccounts. Cat Cash can be used to purchase items at Food Services locations, laundry service in University Village B and copier service at the Library.
- Flex Dollars: Each semester, Flex Dollars in the amount defined in the housing contract are added to residents' cards in University Housing as part of their meal plan. Flex Dollars are only available for purchases in the Hillcat Hut by University Housing residents. When a student exhausts their Flex Dollars balance, they may add additional value to their card in the form of Cat Cash.
No. Funds on the card are only allowed to be used for their initial purpose, mainly food purchases. Balances are non-refundable.
There are a variety of ways to add money. You can go the Bursar’s Office where cash, check or credit card is accepted. The Online Card Office at https://rsu-sp.blackboard.com/eaccounts accepts credit card transactions only.
To prevent the unauthorized use of your card you should notify the Card Office as soon as possible. This is especially important should you have funds in a Hillcat Card account. Your card can be frozen which will prevent your card from being used. You can also go to the https://rsu-sp.blackboard.com/eaccounts web site to deactivate the card yourself. Should you then find your card, you can present it to the Card Office to have it reactivated or visit the Online Card Office and reactivate it online.
It is important that you carry your Hillcat Card whenever you are on campus. You will need it to utilize a variety of services across campus, including the following:
- Use your Hillcat Card as a prepaid debit card for campus purchases including: meals, laundry room and copier services.
- The RSU Bookstore will require presentation of your Hillcat Card in order to purchase books and supplies.
- Use your Hillcat Card to check out resources in the Stratton Taylor Library. Without it, you won’t have access to books, movies, and more.
- Hillcat athletic events are free to RSU students but you will need your Hillcat Card to gain access.
- As an RSU student and full-time employee, you have a free membership to the Claremore REC Center. Your card must be presented to activate your membership and gain access to the facility.
- The Hillcat Card provides access to secured areas around campus.
There are also discounts offered by off-campus merchants to students, faculty and staff when they present their ID cards.
At most locations the available balance is shown whenever you use your Hillcat Card Account. At most of the food establishments on campus, you can ask them to provide your balance (there is a balance inquiry capability on most of the machines). You can also go to the Card Office in Markham Hall and get a printout of the balance and transaction history. In addition, Hillcat Card Account balances and a transaction history can be obtained at the https://rsu-sp.blackboard.com/eaccounts web site.

The magnetic stripe on the card may become worn or scratched, which may render it unreadable. In that case, a free reprint of the card can be obtained at the Card Office. If, through normal wear and tear of the card, it becomes faded or broken, then the Card Office will replace the card free of charge. Obvious abuse of the card will result in a $20.00 replacement fee.
Do not punch a hole in the card! Keep the card away from devices that may clear the encoding on the magnetic stripe. Putting the card on your key-ring may scratch the magnetic stripe of the card, and that could render it unreadable.
Do not let a friend or family member borrow your card. The card may be confiscated and/or a criminal or academic misconduct incident may be filed against the borrower and/or you.
