Yes you definately ask them to resend payment. They have the ability to stop payment on the check (not sure about money order). Even when mailing it is tenants responsibility for the rent getting to you on time. I don't think there is anything wrong with giving them a little bit extra time (many here would disagree) but do not give them too long. They are college students and as such they usually change jobs often and are out of work often. While what they say could very well be true it could also be a stalling tactic. If you live close offer to pick up the money from them so they don't have to mail it to you. I would not give them more then another week and then I would post a P&Q notice.
