Student refund checks are mailed Friday afternoon.  Students who wish to pick up their checks must request the check to be held in the Business Office either by email or letter.  Checks can be picked up in the Business Office after 1:00 Friday afternoon.  If a student picks up their refund check, they must bring a picture ID.

Holds

Students with an outstanding balance and no payment plan in place or students that are not current in their payments will have a hold placed on their account. Holds will restrict students from registering for classes, receiving diplomas and receiving official transcripts. The account must be paid in full in order for the hold to be removed.
