Policy

All funds received by the University at locations outside of the Office of Student Accounts (Bursar) must be deposited with a cashier in the Office of Student Accounts by the end of the next working day. An exception is made if daily receipts are less than $50, in which case deposits to the Office of Student Accounts should be made at least weekly.

Upon approval from the Director of Student Accounts, deposits may be made directly to a bank or via a secure armored car pick-up service.

The Office of Student Accounts will deposit funds to the bank on a daily basis.  Any department approved to use an armored car pick-up service will deposit funds on a daily basis, unless prior approval has been obtained from the Office of Student Accounts.
