Reporting Time
To be paid on time, hourly paid student workers must report hours worked by the due dates. Rensselaer currently has two methods to report hours worked:
- Electronically via the web using the Student Information System (SIS)
- Paper time sheets (only for special circumstances.)
Your department administrator will tell you which option you will be required to use to submit your hours.

Ways to Receive Payment
Students can be paid either by direct deposit into their bank account or by check:
- Direct Deposit (Recommended Option) — Students may set up direct deposit by completing a Student Direct Deposit Authorization Form. It may take up to two weeks for processing. Your first check would be issued as a paper check.
- Paper Check — You can pick up your paycheck in Academy Hall, Monday-Friday, 9:00-4:00 (Thursdays from 9:30-4:00)
