Dishonored Payments

A dishonored check is a check payment returned by the bank to ´óÏó´«Ã½, unpaid, for any reason. Stopping payment on a check is considered the same as a dishonored check. When a check is dishonored, students will automatically receive notification through their ´óÏó´«Ã½ email on file and a letter will also be sent to the student via mail to their local address. Effective October 24, 2023, check payments returned for Invalid Account Number, Insufficient Funds or Stop Payment, will be assessed a service charge fee based on the chart below:
