But, I received a check and on the check, it says “void after 6 months” and I asked the bank teller what it meant. She said that after 6 months, I should ask the school to issue me another check to keep the money in my account because after the 6 months, the money is unavailable

You took the check to a bank teller, correct? Did you ask the teller to deposit the check into your account? or what?

Do you still have the check or did the bank take it? If you still have it, then go back to the bank and say that you want the money from the check deposited into your bank acct…or you want to cash the check.

The teller did NOT say that after 6 months, that you need another check to keep the money that is in your acct. If the money from the check has been deposited, then the money stays there until you spend it.
