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.
Campus wide check writing privileges will be suspended until the item is paid.
Campus wide 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 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:

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