How do I set up direct deposit of refunds?
10/13/2025
To enroll in direct deposit:
Go to Cougarnet and select:
- Student Dashboard
- Select the menu button (Four Boxes in upper left hand corner)
- Cougarnet
- General
- Direct Deposit
- Add New (Student Refunds option)
Students, if you are needing to update a Student Refund Direct Deposit already on file, you must send an email to bursar@siue.edu for our office to remove the existing information. Once that is removed, you'll follow the steps above to input your new bank information. This action needs to be completed no later than Tuesday 4:00pm for the bank account information to be updated for that week's refund.
