Payroll
Deduction for Assistantships
Graduate
Assistants (either teaching or research) are eligible to
use payroll deduction as a method of paying University fees
not covered by their tuition waiver. There is no additional
cost for participating in the payroll deductions plan.
A
graduate tuition waiver, which is part of an assistantship,
waives tuition only. The student remains
responsible for all other fees including the book store
and deposit accounts (first semester only), the general
university fee, graduate matriculation fee, graduate activity
fee, infrastructure maintenance fee, student transit fees
and (if applicable) the International Sponsored Student
fee. These are all fees which may be paid for via payroll
deduction. Additionally, housing and meals (or a portion
thereof) are eligible for payroll deductions for either
3/4 and full time assistantships (i.e., 15 to 20 hrs per
week).
When
to Apply: You will be notified by e-mail when to
apply. On or after these dates, it is strongly recommended
that grad students apply prior to the 10th day of the semester
to avoid late fees. Payroll deductions requested after the
10th day of the semester will be subject to the appropriate
late fees.
Steps for establishing payroll deduction
1.
Applications for a payroll deduction contract are
accepted on-line only by clicking on the link below.
The system will check to see if you have a current assistantship
and if your payroll authorization has been processed by
your department. If not you will not be allowed to apply
and you should contact your department to ensure they have
processed all your paperwork
2.
If a student has less than a full time assistantship, a
partial payment may be required depending on the total of
your fee bill charges. Staff in the Deferments area of the
Bursar's office will make that determination and will notify
you by e-mail.
3.
Contracts are not adjustable, however, students may cancel
their contract at any time by calling the Bursar’s
Office.
4.
It takes a minimum of two weeks to activate a payroll deduction.
