Direct Deposit for Student Refunds

A convenient and secure way to receive your money

What is direct deposit?

Direct deposit is a service that allows you to receive your student refunds electronically, instead of waiting for a paper check. When you sign up for direct deposit, your refunds will be automatically transferred to your bank account within a few days of being processed by the school.

Why should you choose direct deposit?

• It's faster. You don't have to wait for a check to arrive in the mail or go to the bank to cash it.
• It's safer. You don't have to worry about losing or misplacing your check or having it stolen or damaged.
• It's easier. You don't have to update your mailing address every time you move, or deal with the hassle of forwarding your mail.
• It's greener. You help save paper and reduce waste by eliminating the need for printing and mailing checks.

How do you sign up for direct deposit?

Signing up for direct deposit is simple and free.  Simply log in to Workday and navigate through the steps found below.

You will need your bank name, routing number, and account number.  You can find these on your check or bank statement.

You can change or cancel your direct deposit at any time by following the same steps. Cash App accounts will be rejected.
