Check Distribution

HOURS FOR PICKUP: 8:30-12:00 and 12:30-4:30, Monday-Friday; French Ad 242

The Office of the Controller is responsible for the mailing of vendor checks, excluding those payments handled by Payroll or Student Accounts. Checks are normally ready for distribution after 10:30am on the day following processing by Accounts Payable. Notifications for pickup are sent out via email to the person notated in the memo field.

**We check ID when signing out held checks. All checks held for pickup may only be picked up by the person notated in the memo on the requested check. In order to arrange somebody else picking up a check, please contact Check Distribution to arrange that – we must have it on record before signing out the check.

If you are expecting a check from Washington State University and have not received it, please contact the issuing department to determine if the request for payment has been submitted to Accounts Payable for processing.
