School Refund Check Question!!?

Question

I received a refund check for around $1,000 dollars last week from school after 2 weeks of waiting. Then yesterday I received another check for the same amount from school. I have already cashed them both and taken out the money.

I think what happened is that since the first check took so long and I called about it, they just sent another copy of it out to me just in case. Since I have already cashed both checks, what will the school do now?

Answer 1

Give it back before you spend it.

Answer 2

I would call the financial aid department at your school to inquire about it.  If it is an error like you think, they may charge you $1000 onto your next semesters account.  It would be better to pay it back now before you spend it all than to have to come up with the money later.
