Checks: Student Personal
BHCLR students may fulfill financial obligations by payment with a personal check.

Process: The Business Office does not cash checks of any kind.

A $20.00 fee is charged for each returned personal check.

If the college incurs expenses because a student’s check was returned, those
associated expenses are also added to the student’s financial account.

Personal checks will not be accepted from anyone who has had two (2) returned
checks for insufficient funds.

Nonpayment of a returned personal check results in the loss of check writing
privileges, non-issuance of transcript(s), and suspension from class attendance
and may lead to administrative suspension from college and, ultimately, referral
for collection by an agency or legal action.
