Direct Deposit of Your Student Refund

The University now offers direct deposit of student refunds into your bank account. Direct deposit is safe, confidential, convenient, and fast. Since the money goes directly into the bank in the form of an electronic transfer, there's no risk of a check being lost or stolen.

Some of the benefits of Direct Deposit include:

  • No more going to the bank to cash your refund check
  • No more waiting for the refund check funds to clear
  • Quick, easy access to funds
  • Direct Deposit is free
