On July 1, 2008 Federal Regulations changed which affect how Universities are required to monitor funds given to a student. All checks are now mailed to the student's Primary Mailing Address which the student maintains on myWSU. WSU assumes the student has entered the correct address and will mail all actual checks to that address. A check sent to an address the student has failed to update won't be re-issued for 10 working days.
The fastest and safest way for WSU to deliver funds is for us to send it directly to the student's personal bank account. We strongly suggest the student go onto myWSU, select Finances and then complete the Direct Deposit Self Service form.
Some points to remember about Direct Deposit:
- We can only deposit into domestic United States bank accounts or credit unions.
- The student will need to periodically access their student account on MyWSU, Account Info, View Account Activity to determine when the funds have been transferred to their WSU student account. The funds will generally be available in their bank account within three business days after it appears on their WSU student account.
The above does not include your paycheck. Click here to enroll in Payroll Services Direct Deposit:
