Returned checks are defined as those returned for insufficient funds, stopped payment, closed account and maker/check-writer error. When a check is returned to Gateway, the original transaction will be reversed on the student’s account and a $35 service fee per check added to the amount owed by the student. The student will be notified in writing by the Student Accounts Department. Payments can be made via My Gateway or at a Student Services Center on the Kenosha, Racine or Elkhorn campuses. Payments will be accepted by cash or credit card only, not by check.

The outstanding balance on the student’s account will be handled like any other debt owed to the College, and the student will not be able to access college services including registration if the debt is over $500. Any past due balance will be turned over to a collection agency.
