Direct Deposit Information

Never wait for a financial aid check again!

Why wait for the mail? Have all your financial aid checks deposited directly into your checking or savings account*.

You can sign up for direct deposit and have all your financial aid checks electronically deposited into your account. Eligible programs include Federal Pell grant, Federal SEOG, SEEK, CUSTA, Federal Perkins Loan, Ford Federal Direct Loan, Peter Vallone Scholarship and Federal Work Study.

What you need to do...

1. Complete sections A and B on the Direct Deposit Authorization form. Download Get Acrobat Reader to print the forms.
   
   
2. For checking accounts: Attach one of your checks, (with "VOID" written  on the front)
   
   For savings accounts: Have your bank complete Section C.
   
   
3. Submit the form to the Bursar, Administration Bldg., Room A-103
   
   Note: Direct Deposit requests must be submitted at least seven (7) business days before the check date on which you want this service to begin. Direct Deposit will then continue until you decide to cancel it, you close the designated bank account, or you are no longer scheduled to receive financial aid checks from City College.

To cancel your direct deposit: Use the Authorization For Cancellation form.
