7.1.62 Void Checks

Policy

A university check can be voided and credited back to the account that issued it. A memo along with the check needs to be sent to the Comptroller's Office requesting that the check be voided. The Comptroller's Office will give the check to the Cashier's Office, which in turn will issue a check to be credited back to the account that issued it. It normally takes approximately two to three days before the credit will appear on the account.

The void check can only be credited back to the account in the same fiscal year as the original check. Please see the Re-deposits policy. Also, see the Outstanding Checks policy, the Stop Payments policy, and the Void Checks policy.
