Returned Checks

Section 1: Should an individual paying with a check for tuition, housing, fees, etc. associated with enrollment at ABAC have that check not honored by the bank and returned to the college, shall be notified immediately, in writing by certified mail, and will have 15 days to cover the check amount or be subject to being expelled, suspended, placed on probation, and/or have his/her records encumbered. An additional $20 fee will be charged for administrative expenses. The Dean of Students and Director of Student Records will be notified of the student’s status.

Section 2: Should an individual paying with a check for services, goods or cash at any of ABAC’s outlets (bookstore, bursar’s office, etc) have that check not honored by the bank and returned to the college, shall be notified immediately, in writing by certified mail, and will have 30 days to cover the check amount. An additional $20 fee will be charged for administrative expenses. If an individual has three such instances of having returned checks, that individual will be barred from using checks for payment at any of ABAC’s outlets. If the individual is an employee of ABAC (faculty or staff), the employee as well as the employee’s supervisor will be notified in writing of the action taken.

Each ABAC outlet will keep an updated list of “barred” individuals. The list will be available on-line and updated by the Bursar’s office.

Any checks not taken care by the parties passing the check during the allotted time will be subject to collections or prosecution (Reference: Business Procedures Manual sections 10.4.3, 10.4.4, 10.7.3).
