If a student is not signed up for direct deposit, any refund or financial aid checks will automatically be mailed to the student’s local address on file. Students must maintain up-to-date address information on [MyUW](http://myuw.washington.edu/) to avoid any postal delays. Aid checks may take up to 10 business days to reach the student by mail; signing up for [direct deposit](http://f2.washington.edu/fm/sfs/node/118) is strongly encouraged for students to receive funds quickly and safely.

Want to save yourself some time and help the UW go green? Students may choose to receive the IRS Form 1098-T electronically instead of waiting to have it printed and delivered in the mail. Log on to your [MyUW account](https://sdb.admin.uw.edu/sisStudents/uwnetid/irs1098t.aspx/) and select the [Electronic IRS Form 1098-T Consent](https://sdb.admin.uw.edu/sisStudents/uwnetid/irs1098t.aspx) option. Doing so will allow students and authorized parents or guardians, to access 1098-T tax forms from your MyUW account as soon as they are available. It's fast, it's easy, and it's GREEN!
