Any student making a payment by a check that is returned unpaid for any reason will have the payment reversed on their student account. The returned check fee will also be posted to the student account.
If the check was the initial payment of tuition and fees for a semester and notice of the returned check is received BEFORE the 20th class day, the classes will be unsaved and the student must make the required payment by the next payment deadline or all classes will be dropped.
If the check was the initial payment of tuition and fees for a semester and notice of the returned check is received AFTER the 20th class day, the classes will not be dropped but a hold will be placed on the student account.
