    No. It’s your decision. A OneAccount will only be opened in your name if you decide to take advantage of the Easy Refund and debit MasterCard option for receiving refunds or other monies through HigherOne.
    Return to top

  • Do I need to keep my Jaguar Card if I select a different refund option than using the card--either paper check or electronic deposit to my bank?

    Yes. It is your university ID card and it has your student number on it. Also, the card will be required at the Library to check out library resources and for other services. We highly recommend that you retain the card. Another reason, is in case you forget your password, you will need the number and security code from the card to reset your logon.

  • Is there a HigherOne ATM on the Victoria campus?

    Yes. There is a HigherOne ATM on the Victoria campus. The ATM is located in the University Center building in the vending area.

    Reporting your card lost allows HigherOne to cancel the card and prevent possible fraud, theft, or abuse. At the same time, you will be issued a replacement card that you should receive within a week by mail. There will be a $15 replacement card fee beginning January 1, 2010.

  • Where is my refund?

    Students can do this after their Jaguar card is activated – Log onto your online profile (with your email address & password) and select "refunds status & history" from the menu listed under the "financial refunds" tab. If it says "No Status" the refund has not been received by HigherOne. But student can check throughout the day since funds may be sent to HigherOne later in the day.

  • When can I expect my refund to post to my Jaguar Card?
    • Financial Aid posts the funds to a student account today (which will show a credit on the student’s account).
    • PeopleSoft will run a process later that night around 10:00 p.m. (which will turn the credit into a credit balance refund).
    • On the next day, UHV Bursar’s office has to send HigherOne a list of the refunds by 11:00 a.m.
    • Once HigherOne gets the list of students getting refunds from UHV, the funds will be on their account by 2:00 p.m. that day.
