Accounts Payable Check Run & Disbursement Schedule

The Accounts Payable Office processes checks on a regular weekly schedule. To ensure timely payment, please submit approved invoices and payment requests by the published deadlines.

Lincoln University operates on a five-day workweek during the Fall and Spring semesters and a four-day workweek during the Summer semester. Please refer to the Non-Academic Holiday Schedule for specific operating dates.

Regardless of the semester, Accounts Payable processes check runs on Wednesdays.

Checks are available for pickup or mailing after they have been processed and released by Accounts Payable. Processing schedules may be adjusted due to University holidays or closures.

Accounts Payable checks are not authorized for release until the business day after checks are processed.

During the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters:

• Checks are available for pickup from the Cashier's Office after 3:00 p.m. on Thursday.
• Checks designated for mailing will be mailed after they are released.
• Please plan accordingly, as checks cannot be released before the scheduled release date.

• Payment requests must be fully approved before the submission deadline to be included in the scheduled check run.
• Holidays or University closures may affect processing and release dates.
