Monthly Paychecks

Students who are on an assistantship will receive a monthly stipend. The stipend will be deposited into the student’s account (as indicated on the Direct Deposit form) on the last business day of each month.

IMPORTANT NOTE: You will not get paid for time worked until you have filled out the necessary paperwork and it has been processed by both the Office of Student Employment and the Payroll Office. Also, the Payroll Office can only speak with the student about their paychecks/payroll. Parents and/or spouses will not be given any information about a student’s payroll status.
