Scope
This policy establishes how payments by check will be disbursed and whom will receive the checks.
Reason for Policy
To ensure the check is sent to the proper destination.
Policy Statement
All checks issued by the University will be mailed directly to the payee. In limited circumstances with a valid business reason, a hold may be placed on any check so that it is not to be mailed directly to the payee or to make the payment before the next nightly processing cycle (express check). In these circumstances, the department will request a hold or express check to Accounts Payable Shared Services (APSS) or Hospital Accounts Payable as applicable. The department is then responsible for picking up any checks that were requested to be held.
Student financial aid refund checks will only be issued when the student had done the following:
- Signed all applicable notes
- Completed enrollment for the term
- Paid all fees and outstanding accounts or has made arrangements for payment which are approved by the proper authority (the check disbursed to the student must only include the amounts remaining after any amounts outstanding to be paid)
Any unclaimed aid amounts must be reported to the APSS every 30 days. This time requirement may be waived during registration periods with the exception of Federal Direct Student Loans.
