The Business Office is responsible for the disbursement and accounting for all financial assets of the College. The office handles all inquiries regarding student payroll and student organization purchase requisitions. Students may also cash checks. The Business Office is under the direction of the vice president for finance and administration and is located on the first floor of Main Hall.
Check Cashing
For the convenience of students, the Business Office will cash checks up to $125 from 8 to 9 a.m. and 1 to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday. Two-party checks will only be cashed if they are written to the student from their parents, grandparents, guardians, or other Cottey student. No three-party checks may be cashed. A valid student Comet Card is required to cash a check. A $20 service charge will be assessed for any returned check. A student may lose the check-cashing privilege because of writing checks that have insufficient funds. Six full-service banks are available in Nevada: Arvest Bank, First National Bank, Great Southern Bank, Community National Bank, Metz Banking Company, and U.S. Bank.
Emergency Financial Assistance
Emergency funds may be available to students who are experiencing hardship related to their health and well-being or financial difficulties that limit their involvement in academic and co-curricular enrichment opportunities. Students in need of emergency funds should schedule an appointment with the vice president for student life and enrollment.
