Returned Checks Policy

When a check is received by the University and is returned for non payment, an aggressive effort is made to collect the amount of the check from the issuer. The University will take the actions listed below.

• A returned-check fee of $15 is charged to the issuer.
• Check, plus any associated fees, is paid in full. After the second occurrence of a returned check, the issuer's check-cashing privileges are suspended for six (6) months. After the third occurrence of a returned check, the issuer's check-cashing privileges are permanently cancelled.
• A hold is placed on all student registration, transcripts, and other University Services until the amount of the original check, plus any associated fees are paid. If the check was used to pay for charges eligible for Enrollment Cancellation and is not redeemed prior to the Enrollment Cancellation deadline, the student is removed from all classes after seven (7) working days, unless full payment is made prior to that time. The student is notified immediately by letter of the impending removal.
  
• If the check was originally submitted for deposit by a UNM department, the amount of the check is charged back to the department originally credited. The Bursar's Office will initiate collection efforts.
  
• If preliminary collection procedures are unsuccessful the account is referred to the University's collection agency. Legal action may be taken to collect any returned checks.
