Cash Handling Procedures

Currently, some deposit bags are being submitted to the bank with extraneous documents that the bank must remove and shred, which is a cost to the University. Please follow the guidelines below when preparing deposit bags:

1. Tamper resistant bags must be purchased through the Cashier’s Office.
2. Remove all remittance advices or receipts from checks before placing them in the tamper resistant bag. Remittance advices/receipts do not go into the bag.
3. Restrictively endorse all checks with a stamp ordered through the Cashier’s Office.
4. Do not put credit card receipts into the tamper resistant bag. 
5. Do not put university documents (journals, cash deposit summary forms) in the tamper resistant bag.
6. Place one original deposit ticket inside the tamper resistant bag.

a. The deposit ticket must be the original
b. Write the bag number on the deposit ticket
c. There can only be one deposit ticket (and one deposit) per bag

7. When deposits are complete, the tamper resistant bag should have:

a. Cash
b. Checks (with no remittance advices, receipts, or other documents attached to them)
c. Coin
d. One original deposit ticket

8. Tamper resistant bags have a "remittance slip" that should be
removed after checks are placed in the bag. This should be retained with
other departmental records of deposits.
