Does your unit receive and deposit checks? The University Bursar has a delegated agent form for approved cash handling units to complete regarding the handling of receivables from checks returned as unpaid by the system's banks. Regardless of the return reason, the process of handling the returns starts with the University Bursar.
Once submitted, your form will be entered into our Returned Checks database, where it will be sent out annually for updates to ensure the latest information for your department.
Follow these three steps to submit the new form initially:
- Go to LMS and complete the Returned Checks Delegated Agent Job Aid.
- Complete the Returned Checks contact form and DocuSign the form.
- Obtain approval from Returned checks. You will receive an email from bursarreturnedchecks@uillinois.edu saying your department is approved.
Are you unsure if you are an approved cash-handling unit? Please contact University Bursar Cashier Operations by selecting your university here. You can also find the University of Illinois System’s Cash Handling Policy here.
