We pay award funding directly to students as a stipend using the university's payroll system. Depending on the student's prior employment status with the university, they will need to complete the following steps for payment:
Complete the Personal Information (PI) Form
Setup Direct Deposit
To receive your payment, you might need to provide some of your personal information using an online form.
Taleo is the system the university uses to securely collect personal information for "new hires," or those paid using the payroll system, but providing your information does not create an employer-employee relationship with the university.
Yes: You will need to complete the PI form if you have never worked for CU.
No: You will not need to complete the PI form if you have an employee identification number (EID).
You must provide your personal information, using the form, by the date posted on this page. If you do not complete the PI form by the date posted, your offer may be withdrawn.
Watch the video included here for step-by-step instructions, and remember to enter your full name as it appears on your social security card. If you do not have a social security number, you might need to apply for one and should contact urop@colorado.edu for additional instructions.
An employee ID number (EID) is a unique 6-digit number given to a University of Colorado "employee" upon entry into the payroll system. It is not your social security number (SSN) or IdentiKey. If you have an EID, it appears in MyCUinfo under "Employee Information" on the "CU Resources" page.
Check out the next tab for details about setting up direct deposit, which will allow the university to pay your award directly into your bank account.
After you have been entered into the payroll system, you will have access to setup your direct deposit information to receive payment in your bank account.
Active employees will have access to confirm their information immediately, but students without an EID might only have access during the "direct deposit window" dates posted here.
We recommend setting up direct deposit to ensure you receive your payment in a timely manner, and you should be aware that setting up direct deposit for a Bursar account is not the same as doing so in the myCUinfo employee portal. If you do not setup direct deposit, you will be mailed a check at the "mailing address" in the payroll system—so you should ensure the address is current.
Active employees may review and update direct deposit and mailing address information at any time. Students without an EID will need to setup direct deposit and update their mailing address during the "direct deposit window" in the payment timeline.
Check out our step-by-step instructions on the next tab.
Use your CU IdentiKey credentials to log into the Buff Portal, where you will access Employee Resources (myCUinfo).
Click on the "NavBar" (looks like three stacked lines) in the upper right-hand corner of your browser, which opens the NavBar on the right.
Click on the "CU Resources" icon, which will open a secondary menu in the "NavBar."
Click on "My Info and Pay," which will open an icon menu.
Click on "Direct Deposit," which will open the "Two-Factor Authentication" window.
When you click on "Direct Deposit," a "two-factor authentication" screen will pop-up for security purposes. View Two-Factor Authentication Instructions for more information.
Click "Add" for a new account or "Edit" to update an account. Enter "Balance" as the account type, and leave the Amount/Percent blank. For example:
When the direct deposit setup is complete, return to "My Info & Pay" to update your mailing address.
Click on the "My Info" icon to see your current mailing addresses.
Review and update your mailing addresses as needed. International students must enter their international address as their "home address." If you do not setup direct deposit, you will be mailed a check at the "mailing address" listed here.
PACE does not have access to most payroll information. For direct assistance with your payment, contact the Human Resources Service Center (HRSC) and/or the Payroll Department.

Direct Deposit Questions:
You may need to wait until the "direct deposit window." If you are not an active employee, you will only be able to setup direct deposit during the dates posted. If you can't access your direct deposit information during the "direct deposit window," contact urop@colorado.edu.
No. You don't need to submit a timesheet (report hours) to PACE in the payroll system even though you might see us on your timesheet. Because we use the payroll system to issue your award payment in a lump sum, the position is a temporary mechanism for payment.
