Per department request, UPST can process a payment to the vendor as a home check. Normally home checks are mailed twice a week (Wednesday and Friday) from the check printing facility to the Bursar's Office, which serves as a central location for check pickup by the requesting departments.

Bursar's Office can disburse home checks only to the designated personnel on the UPST Home Check Report.

Home checks not picked up in two weeks will be returned to UPST.

The Bursar's Office prepares emergency loan checks to UMass Chan students or residents, per emergency-loan promissory notes presented to the Bursar's Office. To apply, UMass Chan students should go to the Financial Aid Office and UMass Chan residents should go to the GME Office.

Being centrally located, the Bursar's Office prepares payroll advancement checks for UMass Chan employees, per request from UMass Chan Payroll Office.

The Bursar's Office processes these checks only after receiving signed approval forms from UMass Chan Payroll and can disburse the check only to the personnel designated on the payroll form.   For any questions about the check, the employee should contact the Payroll department.
