The companies that work on the machines will be notified, and can dispense refunds if money has been taken. For in-person visits, the MU Business Office is located inside the MU, up the main inside stairs and to the right. Individuals must complete a form in order to receive the appropriate refunds.

Important Notes
- The MU will provide vending machine refunds for all snack and beverage machines located on the OSU campus for up to $5. Refunds are given for cash purchases only.
- Refunds for larger amounts can be referred directly to the vendor.

- Fun fact: some of the snack vending machines are equipped with a scanner that scans the barcode on the snack as it falls to the dispenser. If the snack does not fall, they may not ever be charged for it. Occasionally the MU will ask folks to check their bank/credit card account to be sure they were even charged for it.
Learning Commons Supply Vending Machine
This machine will only accept money that has been added to an OSU ID card through an add value machine – no cash, credit or debit cards. This does not include money in the student's meal plan; that is a separate accounting system.
For problems with this machine, refer to the Information Desk. During the hours that the Information Desk is closed, this duty shifts to the Circulation desk. The key to the machine is located on the Info Desk key chain (Room 2066) that is kept in the secure closet.
