All graduate assistants receive their checks according to a predetermined schedule.
For the 2000-2001 academic year, the first check will arrive approximately four weeks after the appointment date specified in your assistantship letter. If you are appointed under special circumstances, your check will arrive approximately four weeks after you sign the tax information forms. The checks will be issued biweekly for a total of 8 checks per semester. To receive each check, you must sign the recap sheet located in your department's main office. You will, however, be responsible for paying the in-state portion of the tuition.
