Extensions beyond the May 31 due date will be considered on a case by case basis. If approved, I will contact the financial support staff in your department and arrange the extension. Departmental contacts Students need to visit the departmental offices and the financial support staff well before they start working and expect to get paid. Be forewarned there can be a delay between the time that you fill out paperwork and actually get on the payroll. In each department there is a financial support staff person who handles payroll for that department.
Students fill out time cards that are signed by the faculty sponsor and are paid biweekly. .
Students during the school year will not be charged FICA expenses by payroll, but during the summer, FICA will be charged. It is very easy to let this bookkeeping slide, but you must be diligent. If you need to know how many hours your student has worked so far, your departmental financial support staff should be able to tell you. There are no additional funds available. Any other expenses you may have for your research should come out of the original award.
