Direct Deposit Information
NC State University's Regulation
As a condition of new or continued employment, all individuals paid through NC State University's payroll system must participate in the University's Direct Deposit program. See REG05-45.1 for more details.
Direct Deposit Enrollment/Update
To enroll in the Direct Deposit Program or to make changes to your current banking information, log into the MyPack Portal, and go into Employee Self Service. You will find the "Direct Deposit Enroll/Update" option under "Payroll and Compensation".
You will need to enter your bank's routing number and your account number . Both of these numbers can be found on the bottom checks in your checkbook. (A link to an sample check with these numbers hilighted can be found on the direct deposit "edit" screen.) If you do not have checks then you will need to contact your bank for these numbers.
IMPORTANT: The number on your ATM or debit card is NOT your account number.
You must "key" this information directly into the fields. Do not "cut and paste" from another source, as that will cause an error to occur when transmitting the information to your bank.
If you are unable to process your enrollment online, you can complete the NC State Direct Deposit Enrollment/Change Form.
It can take up to two weeks to process this form. Any paper checks you receive prior to your form being processed will need to be picked up in the University Payroll Office on payday.
Federal Advisory for International ACH (Automated Clearing House) Transactions: Employees who forward the entire amount of their NCSU pay to a bank in another country (after having it direct deposited by NCSU into a US bank) must notify University Payroll at (919) 515-4355, per the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department.
Federal Work-Study Participants Only
Students being paid under th Federal Work-Study program are not required to enroll in the University's Direct Deposit program, but are encouraged to receive their pay by direct deposit. Work-Student students wishing to receive a paper check will need to pick their check up each payday in the University Payroll Office.
Special Consideration
If a bank rejects a Direct Deposit transaction because of a closed account or incorrect account information, then a manual check may be issued, but ONLY after the money has been returned to the University.
Note: The return transaction can take up to seven (7) business days to process.
Foreign National Exemption
Foreign nationals are required to supply a Social Security number (SSN) to the payroll office before signing up for Direct Deposit. Such individuals will be paid temporarily by paper check but are required to enroll in Direct Deposit as soon as they supply University Payroll with their SSN. .
See REG05.45.1 for additional exemptions.
Breaks in Service
If your position is terminated and you are rehired within 90 days, your direct deposit will continue without interruption. After 90 days, you will need to process your enrollment again. Temporary employees who are inactive (do not receive a paycheck) for 90 days will also need to enroll again.
