Reissuing Checks

If you were sent a check from the Bursar's Office, and the check...

• Never arrived in the mail after 14 days
• Was lost or stolen
• Was completely destroyed
• Has expired (stale dated - *see below)

You may go to the Bursar's Office to request a Stop Payment on the check, and begin the process of reissuing another check. Or, download and print the Stop Payment Form (Adobe Reader required), fill out all necessary information and mail or fax the form, along with a copy of a valid photo ID, to the Bursar's Office. You may be charged a $20 fee for this service if, 1) it has been less than 14 days since the check was mailed, 2) the check was mailed to the wrong address because you did not update your address in Student Link, or 3) the check was lost or destroyed while in your possession. This fee can be waived if it has been more than 14 days since the check was mailed AND your address was correct when the check was mailed. Be aware that Stop Payments can take approximately 2 to 10 days for processing. Once the process is complete you can be issued a new check. You may be required to verify and update your Local address in Student Link prior to reissuing your check.

*In certain cases, stale dated checks (90 days past the printed check date) can be reissued by the Bursar's Office without having to request a Stop Payment. Bring the check to a Bursar Representative in the University Services Building, Room 104. This process may take several days, depending on the amount of the check and how long it has been stale dated.

NEVER WRITE "VOID" ACROSS THE FACE OF A CHECK IF YOU ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO HAVE THE BURSAR'S OFFICE REISSUE IT OR IF YOU ARE GOING TO RETURN IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT YOUR FINANCIAL AID. If you do not wish to accept your financial aid, contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.
