Returned Checks

The Bursar's Office will notify and bill you if your check is returned by the bank for non-payment. You must pay, in cash, certified funds, or credit card* the original fees plus a $20 dishonored check fee. For returned registration and/or tuition fee payments, you must pay an additional $20 administrative fee and any applicable $25 registration fee by the due date.

If your check is returned and you decide to withdraw from classes, you must follow the regular withdrawal procedures outlined in the Class Schedule. Pro-rata charges will be assessed if withdrawn on or after the first day of instruction. The University reserves the right to refuse to accept personal checks from persons who have previously written bad checks. 

If your check bounces, you are liable for up to three times the amount of the check or $120, whichever is more, plus the face value of the check and court costs. Your account may be referred to the Franchise Tax Board for collections. You may also face criminal charges.
