Contact Payroll if there is a question about how to transfer this cost. Because of the complexities and time involved in payroll adjustments, it is very important that payroll be placed on the proper indexes initially. Payroll distribu- tion should be reviewed periodically and adjusted for effort expended on the project. When payroll expenses are redistributed between indexes, OPE does not necessarily follow in the same percentage as the original charge. This code is used to record expenditures for all graduate research assistants' and graduate teaching assistants' tuition remission costs.
Distribution is based on forecast pay.
The fund to which tuition remission is charged is not an option of the department. The tuition must be charged to the salary index, unless the charge is not allowed by the funding agency. In that case, the tuition must be charged to the department's general operating or cost share index as applicable. If salary is prorated between indexes, the tuition must also be prorated. If GRA payroll is transferred from one index to another, the tuition remission does not automatically follow.
