  1. Entering individual direct pay Banner invoices into Banner using appropriate account codes.

Departments should issue payments with a pay date of the 27th of the month.

For stipend payments, enter payment directly into Banner. Use account codes 55102-55110, Student Aid Participant Support, excluding 55104, Tuition or Fee Payment for Participant.

Resource Aid, including scholarships and payments coded to 55104, should continue to be processed by completing a Resource Aid Form. Resource Aid Form Once completed, the form should be submitted to Accounts Receivable.
