Pay Checks

Direct Deposit

Direct Deposit is the most secure and convenient way to receive pay checks. Direct Deposit is required for all employees except Federal Work Study. An employee's net pay is sent via electronic funds transfer directly to the employee's checking or savings account(s). Multiple accounts can be designated for pay allocation. Net pay or take-home pay is available from the employee financial institution (bank) on pay day.

In an effort to secure bank account change requests, the employee Direct Deposit Form is behind the OneCampus portal in the Employee Tools section. Completed forms may be faxed to 7219 or delivered to Payroll at 314B Tyler Avenue. To protect sensitive information, do NOT email direct deposit forms! Emailed forms will be deleted and will not be processed.

Please note: Direct deposit account changes may take more than one pay cycle to take effect.

Paper Check

Employees who receive paper checks may pick up their paychecks at the Office of the University Bursar on payday. Photo ID is required. Checks will not be released to anyone but the employee.

Stolen, Lost or Destroyed Check

For stolen, lost or destroyed pay checks, employees must contact the payroll office regarding replacement.
