Payments to NYU
General Non-Gift / Non-Grant Fund Deposits (Checks & Cash)
The Tandon Finance team facilitates the processing of non-gift / non-grant-related funds for the Tandon community. Please follow the instructions below based on the type of payment being processed.
For standard departmental refunds or miscellaneous payments, you have three primary options:
OPTION 1
Brooklyn Bursar's Office (Preferred) - Submit physical deposits directly to the StudentLink Center for the fastest processing.
Location: 5 MetroTech Center, 2nd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Please Note:
These deposits must adhere to the following steps:
- Complete the deposit transmittal form
- Deliver the check/cash to the Brooklyn Bursar's Office address listed above along with the deposit transmittal form
- Send a copy of the deposit transmittal form & check (if applicable) to TandonFinanceOffice@nyu.edu
OPTION 2
Tandon Finance Team - Physical deposits can be brought to the finance office
Location: 1 MetroTech Center, 19th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Requirement: You must schedule a drop-off time with one of the Budget & Finance team members before arriving
OPTION 3
ACH / Wire Transfers - Vendors may submit payments electronically via ACH or Wire transfer. Please follow the below steps to ensure the funds are properly received and recorded.
- Instruction: Provide the vendor with the ACH or Wire Instructions
Note: Ensure the vendor includes a reference (e.g., Invoice # or Project ID) in the transfer memo field to simplify tracking
- Confirmation: Request a bank payment confirmation (or a federal reference number) from the vendor once the transfer is initiated
- Verification: Monitor your UDW+ report to verify that the payment fund has been posted to your account
Timing: Domestic transfers usually appear within 2-3 business days; international wires may take longer. However, the Central Office needs time to transfer the amount to your Chartfield. Please allow 7-10 business days after the transfer has been made before running UDW+ report
- Missing Funds: If the credit does not appear in UDW+ within the expected timeframe, your team must submit a Cash Claim Form to initiate a search for the missing transaction
