If a student issues a check for the payment of fees and this check is returned by the bank as being unpaid, the Business Office will take the following action. A letter will be issued to the student through the professor(s), requesting that the letter be given to the student. The professor will be informed that the student cannot return to class after this particular class period without authorization in writing, from the Business Office. If the student redeems the check, a note will be given to the student allowing the student back in class. If the check is not redeemed the Business Office will contact the registrar to drop this student from the roll as this student did not pay the fees and is therefore not a student.

If the returned check is for payment of dorm charges, a notification will be given to the housing director that the student has not paid the rent and that it must be paid immediately or the student must vacate the dorm.

In both cases the student's records will be frozen, and there will be a returned check charge whether the check is redeemed or not. And in the case of the dorm there will be a pro-rated rent charge that the student will need to pay in addition to the returned check charge. The student's dorm deposit will be utilized for pro-rata rent charge and returned check charge.
