FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Payroll Office

212 College Street

The Payroll Office, as part of the Controller’s Office, is responsible for processing student worksheets submitted by the departments. Students deal directly with the Payroll Office staff on issues of tax withholding, W-2 statements, lost checks, and direct deposit.

All students must submit forms W-4 (Federal Income Tax Withholding Certificate) and CTW-4 (State of CT Income Tax Withholding Certificate) to the Payroll Office prior to the first day of work. Please note that earnings paid to full-time students during the academic year are not subject to Social Security/Medicare tax withholding. However, earnings paid during the summer session are subject to these taxes and will result in a separate W-2.

International students, as nonresident aliens, are required to fill out additional paperwork to determine their tax status, if they are eligible for a tax treaty exemption, and to understand their filing requirements under U.S. tax law.

Direct deposit of students' paychecks is available and encouraged.

Those students who have completed their degree requirements prior to graduation and who are no longer full-time students will be considered "periphery employees" for payroll purposes and will follow the temporary employee payment schedule and guidelines.

Office hours are Monday –Friday, 9 a.m.–5 p.m., and as necessary by appointment.

For more information, contact:

Gladys Fountain, payroll coordinator 685-3309

Evelyn Harris, payroll coordinator 685-2835

WesCard Office

First Floor, North College

The WesCard is your official University ID Card. Please keep it with you while on campus. When the transition is complete, the newly installed WesCard technology will allow you to use your card for virtually all retail and service transactions and access requirements while at Wesleyan, both on campus and in the Middletown Community.

Your Card Magnetic Stripe is encoded with information that allows you access to on-campus dining facilities as part of your Campus Meal Plan. The stripe is also separately encoded with information that allows you to create a cash pool (The Middletown Cash Program) for use at participating on-campus and off-campus merchants.

Take advantage of the many services available through the new WesCard and make your life at Wesleyan that much easier! Click here for more information.
