Additionally, students will have the added convenience of email notification when funds are transferred out and direct deposit allows for immediate access to funds (according to each banks policies). This new service is now Widener University's preferred method of delivery. Beginning Summer 2011, students who do not choose direct deposit will have their refund checks mailed to the address on record at the University, there will be no pick up of refund checks in person. Contact Enrollment Services or your campus Bursar Office if you have questions. An email to students with instructions for sign up was sent out by Enrollment Services.

Financial Literacy Online for Widener Students

Financial literacy is an essential life skill for the 21st century. This is especially important for college students. Widener University has partnered with the National Endowment for Financial Education, an independent, nonprofit foundation, to educate our students on a broad range of financial topics and empower them to make positive and sound decisions during their college years and after graduation to reach their financial goals. The CashCourse financial counseling web site provides information on credit and debit cards, budgeting, paying for college, preventing identity theft, the importance of maintaining good credit, and saving for the future among other topics.
