Returned Checks

If a check is not honored by the bank and is returned to the university, the consequences are serious:

• The service charge for returned check collection is $25.00 per item-regardless of the amount of the check or the reason it was returned.
• If a check is written to pay registration fees that are returned after the published registration deadlines the student will be charged an additional $50.00 late payment of fees or dropped from classes. (More on late fees.)
• Checks that do not pay when presented at the bank will not be resubmitted for payment.
• Returned checks will be billed on the Banner accounts receivable system.
• Campuswide check writing privileges will be suspended until the item is paid.
• Campuswide check writing privileges will be permanently suspended if 5 or more checks are returned.

Repayment

Payment for returned checks requires guaranteed funds in the form of a cashier's check or cash only.

If the returned check is not paid there are two consequences:

• A hold will be placed on university services which include prohibiting registration, mailing of transcripts, and receipt of financial aid.
• The returned check can be turned over to the Yolo County District Attorney's Office for collection.

Bank Error

Checks returned because of bank error require a letter from the bank to be sent to:

Cashier's Office
University of California, Davis
PO Box 989062
West Sacramento, California 95798-9062

The bank must include the account number from the university bill or the student identification number.
