Depositing your Money

Take all deposits, whether five cents or $500, straight to the cashier's office on the main floor of Norris. Dance Marathon deposits will only be accepted between 9am and 1pm.
For checks over $250, please follow the instructions here.

Make sure all checks are payable to NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSTIY

Fill out a deposit slip and CLEARLY PRINT your name, the organization you are dancing for (or independent), and the amount you deposited, so we can accurately credit your account. A sample deposit slip is posted at the cashier’s office.

If you need to get confirmation of donations (tax receipts), please stop by the DM office before you deposit your checks.

Hold on to your receipts so you can balance your total with ours. If you have questions about your total, get in touch with the finance committee and they'll take care of you!

How to Deposit Checks For $250 and Greater

  • Fill out a deposit slip as usual. You can find blank slips in a folder outside the DM Office on the third floor of Norris. Follow the template taped to this folder if you forget the proper format. If you have multiple checks for $250 or greater, you can still fill out just one deposit slip.
  • Because your donor’s check is $250 or greater, a Confirmation of Donation form will sent to the donor directly by Northwestern’s Development Office, and you will not need to get one from Dance Marathon. IMPORTANT: if the address that the donor wants the Confirmation of Donation slip sent to is DIFFERENT than it appears on their check, write the PROPER MAILING ADDRESS on a piece of scrap paper (there should be some in the folder). If the mailing address is as it appears on the donor’s check, then nothing further is required.
  • Place the deposit slip, check(s), and address sheet (if applicable) into an envelope. You can find empty envelopes in the same folder.
  • Seal the envelope, and write “CHECKS FOR DM FINANCE” on the front.
  • If anyone is in the DM office, go inside and ask someone to “please place this envelope in the FINANCE MAILBOX so that Jessica and Dean can process the check.”
  • If no one is in the DM office, slide the sealed envelope under the door. Make sure that it goes all the way through!
