These questions are directed more to the post-award members of the list. However, we would welcome input from everyone who wishes to comment. Thank you very much. ========================================================================= TUITION & FEES PROCESSING:CHARGING SAME TO GRANTS/CONTRACTS POST-AWARD ACTIONS At the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, there have been a great many changes in online systems over the past year. Consequently, we're finding it necessary to make many changes in the procedures for getting financial information to the system. Therefore, I would like to ask what procedures your institution uses to process tuition & fees charges. Please respond to my e-mail address rather than the list. If list members are interested in the responses, I will summarize the information and submit either onlist to all or offlist to individuals. TUITION REMISSION FOR GRADUATE ASSISTANTS & GRANTS/CONTRACTS 1. In-State fees and Out-of-State tuition are paid by the University for graduate students on assistantship. 2. Out-of-state tuition is paid by the University for graduate assistants whose in-state fees are covered by grants or contracts. 3. Since miscellaneous fees are not consistent throughout our colleges and divisions, miscellaneous fees are not charged to grants or contracts unless specified by the grant or contract agreement. 4. In-state fees and out-of-state tuition are charged to the grant or contract when the student is an undergraduate or graduate student who is not on an assistantship UP TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT provided by the supporting agency in the budget. 5. Tuition and fees are charged to the grant or contract in the amounts required either by the percentages covered by the assistantship documents or by specific instructions stated in the grant/contract documents. QUESTIONS: 1) How does your institution account for, charge or document tuition remission payments? (Especially as this relates to grants and contracts) 2) Does your institution have a written procedure for submission of the tuition remission request? 3) How are tuition remission requests processed? Through which which departments? 4) Who approves tuition remission? 5) Does your institution use a standardized charge request form and/or fee waiver? If so, what information do you require? ************************************************************************ pj Phyllis T.
