return it to fresno city college. since you're no longer registered at fresno, their records will catch up with your enrollment sooner than later. if you cash the check, you'll just need to give it back to them.
in the meantime, your new school won't be able to disburse any aid to you until fresno returns the money, so you should call fresno to notify them of the situation. let them know you are returning the check so that they can return the funds, so that you can receive the funds at your new school.
you are not eligible for financial aid through a school that you're not enrolled at, it's just that sometimes mid-year transfers aren't caught right away.
please know what this is a federal regulation. you don't have a choice, so be careful what advice you choose from these answers. your best bet is always to contact the financial aid office at both institutions to make sure they know what's going on. more than likely, your new school knows, but their hands are tied until the money from fresno state is returned.

If you left without telling the school you were not going to attend the check is probably an error. Call the school and let them know what has happened and they will let you know if the check is yours to keep based on funds left over from the Fall still, or needs to be returned because it was an estimate for the Spring you did not attend.

Hang on to it in case it was a mistake on the financial aid office. Call both finacial aid offices and see if you are suppose to have their check. If you spend it and you were not suppose to get it you will have to pay it back.
