Each type of direct deposit enrollment, changes or cancellation must be completed separately. For example, if you already have direct deposit for on-campus employment, you still need to enroll in direct deposit for non-payroll.
Direct deposit is effective immediately. Generally the lead time is 3-5 days for your funds to appear in your bank account. You will be able to retrieve a copy of your pay stub through the portal at
