If you receive loans, scholarships and/or grants, you are expected to sign up for Direct Deposit. You may do this on MyUW, Student Personal Services, Direct Deposit Transfer. You must set up your direct deposit account at least 5 days before aid can be deposited to your bank account.

To sign up for Direct Deposit, you will need your:

• UW NetId and password
• bank routing number
• bank account number

Your tuition and most other charges will be deducted from your financial aid before any money is deposited to your bank account. In most cases, the excess funds will be available in your bank account before the first day of the quarter. You may view your Tuition Statement on MyUW to verify the availability of your aid.

Direct Deposit is a safe and efficient method of having your funds deposited to your bank account. You may use any financial institution within the United States that participates in the Automated Clearing House (ACH).

If you are not signed up for direct deposit, you must make arrangements with Student Fiscal Services to have your check mailed to you. You may complete an online request , or call 206-543-4694 to request your check. Checks are not issued in person.

If you lose your check, or have not cashed it within 90 days of the date it was issued, a $25 charge will be assessed for printing a replacement.
