Data shows approximately only 55% of our financial aid students have signed up for direct deposit to receive their financial aid funds. We'd like to reach 90% Direct Deposit sign up.
Students enrolled in direct deposit will have their financial aid funds deposited directly into their bank account, rather than receiving a paper check.
Five reasons students should sign up for Direct Deposit:
1. This is your best option to ensure quick access to your financial aid with campus being closed due to COVID-19.
2. Easy and Convenient . . .
3. No more lost checks or delivery delays. . . Get your financial aid faster
4. No more waiting in long lines to pick up their checks . . .
5. Spend their time online, not in line. . .
To sign up for direct deposit, students just login to mySDCCD at http://my.sdccd.edu and click on "Sign Up" in your Financial Aid pagelet.

Note: Students must sign up by Thursday at 11:59 p.m. to have their direct deposit take effect for financial aid disbursed that week. This deadline may change if holidays take place on Fridays.
