What happens if my check payment does not have sufficient funds?

If you enter incorrect values, have insufficient funds, or, if you attempt to use a check that is not from a regular U.S. domestic bank checking account, the system will return your transaction. All returned checking and savings payments are subject to a returned item fee. 

As a security measure, an unsuccessful payment attempt or attempts will result on the system placing an irrevocable negative service indicator on your student account, which will prevent you from using eCheck as payment option for the duration of your studies at Penn State.

Penn State reserves the right to cancel a future semester enrollment due to a returned payment on the student account.
