Returned Check/Stop Payment Fees

Returned Check Fee

A returned check penalty fee of $25 will be charged to a student's account for any check dishonored by the drawee bank. If a returned check was used to pay for more than one student, each student will be assessed the $25 returned check fee.

If a student or anyone paying on the student's behalf has written two or more returned checks, check cashing privileges will be revoked.

Balance Due Date

Payments made by a returned check are reversed from the student's account, leaving the balance due and payable immediately.

Outstanding balances are subject to the NSHE Unpaid Fees and Delinquent Accounts Policy (Rev. 257 (06/13) Title 4, Chapter 17, Page 5), and may result in the student being dropped from his/her classes.

Waiving the Fee

The returned check penalty fee will be waived if the check was returned in error, providing supporting documentation is submitted.

The returned check and penalty fee must be paid by cash, credit card or money order.

Stop Payment Fee

A stop payment penalty fee of $25 will be charged to a student's account for any credit card or check stop payment initiated by the student.

Waiving the Fee

The stop payment fee will be waived if the stop payment was in error, providing supporting documentation is submitted.
