The College may file formal charges against any issuer of non-sufficient funds checks.

Procedure

Notification on Returned Checks

A form letter will be sent to all writers of returned checks advising them that the check has been returned from the bank and that they must redeem the check, plus a processing fee, within ten (10) days of receipt of the letter.

Action on Failure to Redeem Returned Checks

Persons who fail to redeem returned checks within the given time limit will be subject to one or more of the following actions:

1. Returned checks which are identified as payment for tuition or fees for currently enrolled students will be referred to the Coordinator of Admissions and Records. The coordinator will notify the student that he or she will be dropped from all courses for which the student failed to complete a valid registration (also see Policy No. 6011).
2. All returned checks which are not redeemed within thirty (30) days after their return from the bank will be submitted to a contracted collection agency for collection.
3. All returned checks which are not collected through the contracted collection agency will be reviewed for possible action.

The College Treasurer is authorized to "write off" non-sufficient funds checks as receivable after all collection activities and legal remedies have been exhausted.
