How do I set up direct deposit?

By setting up direct deposit, you are authorizing Wichita State University to deposit excess financial aid or refunds (if available) into the bank account you have selected. You are also verifying that the information you have entered for your bank account is accurate. For your security, only the last 4 digits of your bank account number will be displayed under the Refunds tab. If you feel you might have entered your bank account number incorrectly, please delete and re-enter. You may only have one direct deposit account active at a time.

Note: If a customer no longer has the two-step verification phone number or email, the options to have the two-step verification removed are:

Option 1: Customer is instructed to come into Room 201 Jardine Hall with a valid picture ID.
Option 2: For online students, student would email valid picture ID to wsuaccountsreceivable@wichita.edu.
