IMPORTANT: Student records and employee records do not “talk” to each other. Updates made in ISIS and/or TritonLink will not flow through to UCPath and/or OFC, and vice versa. Students will need to make changes in each system individually. This is true of both SSN/ITIN, and direct deposit.

Please prompt students to log in to each system and verify that all of their personal data is correct each time they need to make a change.
