Returned Checks

Sometimes oversights occur and a bank will return a check as non-sufficient funds (NSF) for payment. As a rule, the SJC bank processes NSF checks twice for payment to the student’s account. The Business Office will mail a certified letter to the student’s current address notifying the student of the NSF check and fees with the conditions for repayment. Some of the conditions include: repayment by cash, money order or credit card (unless the NSF check was for cash). In addition, the student may be dropped from classes and denied College privileges and services. A $35 fee is assessed on all returned checks.
