PODIUM ACCOUNT ACTIVITY & REFUND POLICY
Podium balances remain on your ID Card while you are a current student or
active employee. New deposits will be added to your existing balance and can
be made online at any time via UAlbanyID.com.
Balances cannot be transferred to other people or accounts (e.g., Munch
Money).
If you are officially leaving the University, you can request a Podium refund up
to six (6) months after graduating, withdrawing, or ending employment at the
University. Your refund is subject to a $5 processing fee.
If you officially leave the University without requesting a refund of your unused
Podium balance, you will be charged a monthly inactivity fee of $20 starting
with the seventh (7
th
) month of successive inactivity. That fee will be deducted
from the value of your unused points prior to issuing any refund. The amount
of any monthly inactivity fees is not refundable in whole or in part and will not
be restored to you even if you later request a refund of your unused points.
Your refund is subject to a $5 processing fee.
Remaining Podium balances for students or employees who have been
inactive for three (3) consecutive years will be forfeited.
To request a refund, visit the ID Card Office (Campus Center B-52). UAS will
mail a refund check to your home address.
