Returned Check Policy
There is a $50.00 fee on all returned checks.
In the event that a check has been returned, the issuer will be notified and informed that they have 10 days to make *restitution, including any related fees to prevent any further collection activity. Once the university is informed of a returned check, a hold will be placed on the individual’s account. A personal check will not be accepted as repayment for a returned check.
*(Restitution must be made in the form of cash, certified/cashier’s check, or money order.)
Hold Procedures
A HOLD is a restriction that is placed on the student’s account. The Bursar’s Office places two types of holds on student accounts:
- Financial Hold: this hold will not allow students to register, add or drop class(es) and prevents release of transcripts;
- Collection Hold: this hold will not allow students to obtain transcript(s) or reenroll until the balance is satisfied.
Students can check HOLD information by accessing their account online using the KSU WIRED.
