Returned Checks

Whenever a check or e-check payment is returned unpaid by the bank (insufficient funds, closed account, stop payment, etc.) the returned check, and a non- refundable $25 returned check fee will be charged to the student’s account. If the check was issued to pay for tuition, a $100 late payment fee may be charged to the student’s account.

Students will receive an email notification at their Knights Email address detailing the returned check and associated charges. The email will include instructions explaining how to pay the returned check and service fee. Payment may be by check, credit card, certified check, or money order. If a student’s account indicates a history of returned checks, the university may suspend or revoke a student’s check writing privileges.

Returned checks that remain unpaid may be referred to a collection agency.
