What is a Returned Payment fee?

A Returned Payment fee is a charge that occurs when a payment made to your account is returned by the bank due to insufficient funds, a closed account, or other reasons that prevent the payment from being processed successfully. This fee is applied to cover the costs associated with handling the returned payment.

 if your payment is returned for any reason, you are required to submit repayment in certified funds. You may also be required to pay the following fees:

Re-Registration Fee: $75
Returned Payment Fee: $75

Privileges will be permanently revoked for any account with excessive returned payment activities (two or more returned payments issued to the University). If repayment is made with non-certified funds, account holds will not be lifted until the funds have been cleared. This can take up to 14 business days.

For more detailed information, you may want to refer to PAU's payment policies or contact the Business Office directly.
