I know my tuition check has been returned, and I want to pay my tuition now, so I will not lose my classes (Valencia College shows no record of this check being returned).

Wait for notification from Valencia before you proceed to pay for your classes. Checks are automatically redeposited by our bank. If the check is returned to us, we will void the initial payment and send you notification that the account must be settled. There will be an additional charge for the returned check added to your account, and you must pay either by credit card or cash. No personal checks will be accepted for payment of this debt.
