What determines a student's pay grade? 

Direct deposit eliminates the step of having to deposit or cash a physical check. Also, banks will usually process paychecks before paper checks arrive at CPO (dependent on bank).
To sign up for direct deposit you must have your student ID and an official document form your bank which shows your routing and account number or a voided check.

What are benefits of having a direct deposit and what do I need to set one up?

Berea College is one of nine federally recognized <a href="https://www.workcolleges.org/">Work Colleges</a>.
So at Berea College, we don’t just admit students. We hire them. Every student works a minimum of 10 hours per week at a campus job in one of more than 130 departments. In working on campus, students support the operations and mission of the College and also gain important workplace experience even before graduation. Every student is paid an income for this work. The Labor Program, through the leadership of the Dean of Labor, the Labor Program Council, and countless supervisors and mentors, reflects a unified vision of labor as student and learning-centered, as service to the College and broader community, and as necessary work well done.
