Emergency Check Printing Requests

As of June 7, 2024, UVA Accounts Payable has outsourced check printing to Bank of America.  For those schools and units that need "hold for pickup" checks printed, the process remains largely the same except turnaround time.  

"Hold for pickup" checks will be available two to three business days after request.  See the Hold for Pickup Schedule on our website. 

GUIDELINES FOR EMERGENCY CHECK REQUESTS

What qualifies for an emergency check request?

For check printing purposes, an emergency is defined as a situation in which University operations will be severely impacted if the payment is not made within 16 business hours.  

Further examples of emergency situations you might encounter:

  • Any payment that is expressly for living expenses that is delayed or otherwise unpaid (aka stipends).

  • Federal requirements related to immigration or financial aid, or other federal compliance needs. 

If you believe you have an emergency outside of the above parameters, you may request an emergency check payment by emailing us at askfinance@virginia.edu.  Be aware that Unit Manager acknowledgment and approval by the University Controller, Treasurer, or CFO will be required.

To make an emergency check request, contact AskFinance.
