Direct Deposit Instructions

All student employees must set up their direct deposit via CougarNet. 

1. Log in to CougarNet. 
2. Click the Employment button. 
3. Click the Direct Deposit Information link. 
4. Click the Add New button.
5. Fill in your bank information, select whether your account is Saving or Checking, and enter the amount or percent you wish to have entered in that account. Only enter numbers in the Amount or Percent field. You can set up multiple accounts for your direct deposit. Your routing number and account number can be found on your check as demonstrated on the sample check below: If you do not have checks, contact your bank to find the routing number. Sometimes banks will post their routing number on their website. 
6. Click Save Changes to finish. 

Please note that it can take a couple weeks to finalize changes to your direct deposit information. You may receive one or two paper checks after changing your information. If you close an account that is set up for direct deposit, please inactivate it in CougarNet as soon as possible to avoid delays in your pay. 

If you have questions regarding your direct deposit, please contact Payroll in the Human Resources office.
