Direct Deposit

Direct deposit is the process by which the university deposits your paycheck directly into your checking or savings account. There are several benefits to direct deposit:

  • Direct Deposit is safe because your pay is automatically deposited into your account on pay day - no worrying about lost or stolen checks.
  • Direct Deposit is fast because your check is instantly deposited into your account and available on pay day - no standing in long bank lines or waiting for your check to clear.
  • Direct Deposit is simple because your pay is deposited into your checking or savings account on time, correctly and confidentially.

Enroll/Change Direct Deposit

You may enroll in or make changes to your direct deposit in one of the following ways. Make sure you have your bank account number(s) and corresponding routing number(s) ready.

Cancellation

To cancel direct deposit, fill out a Direct Deposit Enrollment Form (PDF), put a check mark next to "I hereby terminate my authorization...", and return it to the Office of Human Resources, Payroll Services. Please note that once your direct deposit is canceled, your paycheck will automatically be mailed on pay day via U.S. Mail until you elect another payment method, such as a pay card.
