Student FAQs
Payment Methods
How do I get paid?
Students are paid based on hours entered into an online time entry system. Each department typically has a designated business officer who is responsible for entering student timesheets into the time entry system. All timesheets must be approved before 3 PM on Monday to receive a check on Thursday of the same week (for students who are paid weekly) . The deadline to submit student timesheets is 8 AM on Monday.
When do I get my first paycheck?
In order to be paid, your department must have sent in an on-line hiring notification to Student Employment and your timesheet hours must have been entered. If your timesheet is approved by your supervisor by Monday at 3 pm, you will receive your paycheck Thursday of the same week (for undergraduates and non-stipend graduate and professional students).
How often and on what day do I get paid?
Undergraduates and non-stipend graduate and professional students are paid on a weekly basis every Thursday. Graduate and professional students who receive stipends are paid on a semimonthly basis. See the Payroll Calendar for specific dates.
Where do I pick up my checks?
As of March 2020, all payroll checks are mailed to the mailing address as reported in the student database, SIS.
Can I set up direct deposit?
If you anticipate receiving more than one or two paychecks and you have a US bank account you may set up direct deposit. In order to do this, follow the steps below:
Once you have set up direct deposit online, it will take 1-2 weeks to take effect. Until then, a paper check will be mailed.
Do I receive multiple checks for multiple jobs?
No. Hours from multiple jobs are combined on to the same check each week.
