The Cashiers Department is responsible for processing and handling cash and negotiable documents. Described herein are policies and procedures applicable to check cashing, required identification, and payments accepted by the Cashiers Department. Check Cashing Personal checks may be cashed by students, staff, and faculty members at the Cashiers Department or at any satellite location.
Identification is required.
Faculty and staff members may cash a personal check but must sign a statement authorizing the University to deduct the amount of the check and any applicable fees from their payroll check should the check be returned for insufficient funds. Exceptions to these amounts may be made by the Bursar or the Manager of the Cashiers Department. If such an exception is made, the check must be verified by the issuer's bank. Two-party checks made payable to a UNM student, staff, or faculty member may be cashed, with the same dollar limits as those applied to personal checks.
