Modified on: Mon, Mar 17 2025 1:08 PM- It is at the discretion of the department if they will accept checks as form of payment.
- A bad check can be returned for a variety of reasons. This can include insufficient funds, a closed bank account, a stop payment by the issuer, or fraud.
- The fee assessed for each returned check is the same for students and non-students.
- Business services maintains a no-check-cashing list when the bank has returned a check.
- The individual will stay on the list for one year from the date of the last returned check.
- This list is shared with the managers of departments that accept check payments.
- This list is confidential and should not be posted in the public’s view.
- If it is a non-student accounts receivable, the business services will send a letter to the check writer stating the amount still owed on the original check and the fee.
-
If it is student accounts receivable, student accounts will send a letter to the student stating the amount still owed on the original check and the fee.
- The exception to this is QuikPAY eChecks. No letter will be sent. QuikPAY sends an automatic email that the payment was rejected.
- The student’s bill will reflect the reversed eCheck and NSF fee.
- An individual writes a check to continuing education and training and the check is returned, the department will be notified immediately so they have the opportunity to drop the student from the class for non-payment.
- After a returned check, payment must be made by another method. A check will not be accepted.
