When your payments or financial aid awards exceed your charges—CCA issues you a refund. By default, you will receive a paper check to your home address on file (see Manage Contact Information Step by Step Guide for how instructions on updating your address).

However, you can also set up direct deposit so that student account refunds are directly deposited into your chosen checking or savings account.

Workday refers to the direct deposit option as a Payment Election. Setting up direct deposit is a fast, paperless option.

The account you choose to use must be a U.S. bank account.

Work-study Students: You may already be set up in Workday for direct deposit of your paychecks. Student account refunds are handled SEPARATELY. You still need to follow these steps to receive refund checks via direct deposit.

Follow the steps below to get started.

Go to workday.cca.edu, and log in using your CCA Account credentials.

• After you set up one account, you will be able to add a second or third account this same way.

b. Under Preferred Payment Method, the Direct Deposit is automatically selected for the different pay types: Payroll, Expenses and Student Refund. You can leave everything as is then proceed to the next step to enter your bank account information.

PLEASE NOTE: Once you enroll, your account information will be submitted to our bank for validation. This process, known as "pre-noting” can take up to one week to complete. During this time, you will continue to receive paper checks for any refunds processed by Student Accounts and paychecks processed by Payroll. Once your account information has been successfully pre-noted, electronic remittances will begin automatically. If you have any questions about electronic refunds, please contact us via email at studentaccounts@cca.edu and for paychecks, contact the Payroll Office at payroll@cca.edu.
