Direct Deposit Enrollment

Direct Deposit enrollment allows your net financial aid and student refunds to be electronically deposited into your personal checking account. Your enrollment in this direct deposit service does not apply to any payroll check from the college.

To enroll in Direct Deposit you must have a valid e-mail address and a checking account at a financial institution that participates in the Automated Clearing House (ACH). Most banks and credit unions participate in ACH.

Initial establishment (or modifications) of Direct Deposit accounts will be complete after 6 business days from your enrollment. All refunds will be in the form of a check until Direct Deposit enrollment is complete.

The authorization for Direct Deposit will remain in effect until you modify or cancel it. If you close or change your checking account make sure you change your account information so your refunds will be available to you as quickly as possible!

Step 3: Direct Deposit Authorization

By clicking “Submit” I authorize the System Office of the Connecticut Community Colleges (hereinafter “CCC”) to deposit electronically any payments made on behalf of the Community Colleges to the specified bank account. This authorization is to remain in full force and effect until the CCC has received notification from me of its termination in such time and manner as to afford the CCC and the bank a reasonable opportunity to act upon it. In the event that the CCC notifies the bank that funds have been deposited to my account in error, I authorize and direct the bank to return said funds to the CCC as soon as possible. In the event that for any reason, the bank is unable to return said funds to the CCC, I authorize the CCC to recover those funds by any of the following methods: (1) deducting the amount of said funds from any future payments from the CCC until the amount of erroneous deposit has been recovered in full; (2) making written demand on me for return of said funds, in which case I agree to return said funds in full to the CCC within two (2) weeks of receipt of such written demand; or (3) any combination of methods (1) and (2) above. I further agree that if such funds are not repaid to the CCC, I will be liable for all costs of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by the CCC in the collection of such funds, together with the maximum interest permitted by law.
