| MEMORANDUM TO: Deans, Department Chairs, Directors and Graduate Program Directors FROM: David Francko, Dean of the Graduate School SUBJECT: GRADUATE ASSISTANT TUITION AWARDS – FALL 2008 AND SPRING 2009 |
|
As I am sure you know, last Friday
the trustees approved the new tuition rates for fall 2008 and
spring 2009. The official rates for the new academic year are: In state, full-time $3,200.00 Out of state, full-time $9,000.00 Student Receivables have generously allowed us a submission deadline which is later than usual – July 11th. The requests for tuition awards for qualifying graduate students for the fall 2008 and spring 2009 semesters are therefore due in this office by the following dates: Fall 2008 – July 9th, 2008 Spring 2009 – October 31st, 2008 These deadlines will permit sufficient time for registering these awards on each student’s account before the deadlines for confirmation of schedules, which are as follows: Fall 2008 – August 8th, 2008 Spring 2009 – December 5th, 2008 Please make a note of these important dates in your department calendars. They are very important! Departments MUST submit their tuition award forms as soon as possible but no later than these deadlines in order to avoid placing students in the position where they are not able to confirm their class schedules. There have been no significant changes in the requirements for graduate students to be approved for tuition awards since last year; however, please take the time to peruse the attached documents as they include important information about who qualifies for tuition awards. Do not use old forms as changes continue to be made to improve all of the Graduate School’s administrative processes and the most up to date version of all of the forms that are to be used can be downloaded from the Graduate School web site and from the Contract & Grant Accounting Office web site.
Please make sure that copies of
this memo are forwarded to everyone in your area who has any
responsibilities relating to the preparation of tuition forms
for your graduate assistants.
