Example of FSRT entry using the checkbox feature

As of the 2022-23 AY, Departments can request to pay a DO student's BoF and/or NRST under employment's FSRT.  In the screenshot below, a DO domestic student has an IA appointment.  The Department has requested to pay the BoF through remission, by selecting the checkbox marked "BoF".  No notes needed.  The BoF request will automatically be sent through FRST.  If the student is international and the Department wants to pay the BoF and NRST, they would select both checkboxes BoF and NRST under IA.  

Update Fall 2023: Balance of Fees is no longer an option since 100% of campus fees are covered. Now, the checkbox option looks like this:

Select Combo from the drop-down if your student has a combination of GSR and IA appointments totaling 25% or more for an entire quarter, and the GSR appointment(s) is greater than or equal to 25%.

Students covered by a Department Offer, with a GSR and IA appointment that total 25% or more are eligible for a fee remission (if the GSR appointment is 25% or higher) (see GSR Tuition and Fee Remission (GSRTF).  The fee remission automatically includes tuition, student services fee, campus fees¹, mandatory health insurance, and nonresident supplemental tuition².  After the first year of enrollment as a domestic student or a Permanent Resident, NRST is no longer automatically covered.

As of the 2022-23 AY, Departments could request to pay a DO student's BoF and/or NRST under employment's FSRT.  In the screenshot below, an international DO student has a COMBO appointment of 20% GSR and 25% IA.  With the GSR appointment less than 25%, the student is eligible for ASE Partial Fee Remission.  The Department has requested to pay the BoF and NRST through remission.  They would select the checkboxes marked "BoF" and "NRST" under COMBO.  The BoF and NRST request will automatically be sent through FRST.  In the notes list the FTE of the GSR and IA appointments.

We cannot pull this information into the tool, as some entries in UCPath are not made before the fee deadline. Instead, the notes will assist FSU in auditing the initial remission payment posted to the student's account (this will not affect the calculation of the proportional split when costs are posted to financial ledgers).

Yes. Departments may submit a fee payment request on the Fellowships tab to cover these administrative fees.  The GSR/IA Remission tab is not configured to cover these fees as part of the remission payment request.

Departments may opt to pay the balance of campus fees and/or NRST for students with a fee remission, for whom the fees are not automatically covered via a fee payment on the Fellowships tab of the FRST in the following scenarios:

• DO Covered Student: IA

• DO Covered Student: Combo, GSR <25%³

In all other scenarios where the balance of fees and/or NRST are not automatically covered, departments should use the checkbox on the GSR/IA Remission tab.

Please see “Why is IATF charged differently than GSRTF?”
(Answers to Frequently Asked Questions > Proportional Split of Tuition & Fees > Accounting Information - Posting Tuition Remission to Financial Ledgers > Why is IATF charged differently than GSRTF?)

The recommendation reduces the potential of two separate overpayment pain points for students holding combo appointments:

1. Overpayment to the student's billing account: 

2. Duplicate coverage of a single expenditure on financial ledgers: 

(pardon our collab dust as we clarify the explanation of these two issues!)

When cancelling requests on the GSR/IA Remission tab, please uncheck any checked boxes.  This will prevent miscommunication and remove the risk of residual payments left on the student account.  

No.  An exception request to cover NRST for a student for whom NRST is not automatically covered is no longer required.

See Graduate Funding Reform & Policy.

Graduate academic titles, at 25% or more, for an entire quarter, are eliglble for fee remissions.  Casual/restricted titles, such as Student Worker positions, are not eligible.

Job Code 003266, the Graduate Student Researcher without Remission can still be used in the certain instances:  

• During the summer months when no remission is assessed

• During the academic year for GSR appointments less than 25% IF it is the only graduate academic appointment the student has (a reminder that combinations of GSR and IA, GSR and GSR, or IA and IA appointments totalling 25% or more for an entire quarter are eligible for a fee remission)

• When a student has third-party support and has a contract set up with Student Financial Solutions

• By approved exception from the Dean of the Division of Graduate Education and Postdoctoral Affairs (see the policy on GSRTF and Employment Exceptions for full details)

Students appointed in IA roles are covered by the UAW Academic Student Employees Unit contract.  A breakdown of fees covered by the contract is available on the GEPA website, Fee Payment Information for Academic Student Employees.

"Balance of campus fees" or "balance of fees" or "BoF" refers to the balance remaining of the campus fees not covered by the ASE Partial Fee Remission.  The ASE Partial Fee Remission, which is described in the UAW Academic Student Employees Unit contract, provides $100 towards the campus fees.  The total campus fees assessed at UC San Diego for AY 22-23 is $350.33.  After the $100 is applied, the balance remaining, or the "balance of campus fees", is $250.33 (see Fee Payment Information for Academic Student Employees).  For students covered by a Department Offer, students are responsible for paying this balance.  Departments may request to cover the balance for students with a fee remission, in the following scenarios:

• DO Covered Student: IA

• DO Covered Student: Combo, GSR <25%³
