Thank you for supporting the workshops that we ran on three dates in April! A total of 39 Administrative staff representing 34 departments attended from each and every academic college plus three non-academic units. If you would like us to visit your college or area in the next few weeks and present the same session just for your administrative staff please contact John Chambers at 348-8282.
The requests for tuition
awards for qualifying graduate students for the fall 2007 and
spring 2008 semesters are due in this office by the following
dates:
Fall 2007– June 25, 2007 Spring 2008– October 22,
2007
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 2007–
August 10, 2007 Spring 2008– December
7, 2007
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.
These dates are unchanged from those already advised to you by John Chambers via email March 8, 2007. A copy of that deadline sheet, which includes all deadlines for graduate assistantships related matters, is enclosed as appendix 14.
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.
Some confusion has arisen where graduate students receive
multiple assistantships or a combination of assistantship,
fellowship, and scholarship, all of which carry tuition awards.
Please remember that a student may NOT receive combined
tuition awards that total more than the maximum tuition rate for
9 hours. This is not a new ruling and does not affect
any awards that are not specifically for tuition.
All tuition amounts are based upon current rates and, of course,
are subject to change at the Trustees meeting in late July. In
the meantime, please complete all forms using current rates;
Student Receivables will automatically update any changes.
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 at the
following address:
http://graduate.ua.edu/admin/forms/index.html
and from the Contract & Grant Accounting Office web site at:
http://cga.ua.edu/c&gaccounting_forms.html
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.
If you need any additional copies of this memo please go to the
Graduate School web site and download copies directly.
