Tuition Account Refunds through Direct Deposit Carold Boyer-Yancy, Director Student Service Center Diane Scutti, Manager of Accounting Operations Office of Financial Affairs Saint Joseph’s University
Reasons for Direct Deposit • Students needing immediate access to their funds • Eliminate checks that are lost in the mail • Avoid delays caused by the USPO • Accounts Payable and the Student Service Center have less checks to process • Help students avoid check cashing fees • Provide improved service for our students
Implementation of Direct Deposit • Develop a method to gather, monitor and change student banking information • On-line to make the process as easy as possible for AP and the SSC • Payroll did not want us to impact their direct deposit information on GXADIRD
Banner Process Update TSADETC (Detail Code Control Form)
Banner Process, cont. • SSC submits refunds to AP in the normal manner • Student receives an electronic email when the direct deposit has been processed • A check register was developed(FZBCHKR) for the SSC to help them identify checks vs. direct deposit
Getting the word out…. Email Brochure Posters A brochure with every refund check To date 748 students have signed up for direct deposit!
Expectations • Student entering bank information multiple times • Rejections-no pre-noting and incorrect information entered • Routing number not on validation list • Increase in emails to SSC alias • Purging policy-getting students off of Direct Deposit once they have graduated
Benefits Positive Feedback from both Students and Employees!
Future Efforts • More advertising • Orientation • Open House • Mandatory • Parent reimbursement
