Who Should Enroll

International non-residents receiving fellowship stipend; all students receiving travel or expense reimbursement.

Enrollment/Changes/Updates

• Do not ask students to enroll themselves. This might cause duplicate “supplier numbers” - ie, payment accounts - in OFC.
• Enrollment: international non-residents will receive an invitation from the UCSD Glacier & Taxation Team; students receiving reimbursement should work directly with their department’s financial team for guidance. 
• Changes/address updates: https://paymentcompass.ucsd.edu/ (only after supplier number is established)

*Even if students enroll in direct deposit, they should always keep their mailing and permanent addresses up to date. If there are any errors/timing issues that prevent direct deposit, paper checks will be mailed instead.

FSRT (Financial Support Request Tool) is a custom-built web application used to schedule fellowship stipend, fee, and tuition remission payments.

FSRT and UCPath (payroll) are the two primary systems departments use to get financial support into the hands of graduate students.

FSRT will soon be replaced with a new, custom payment application (to be named) FSPT - targeted for AY2324AY2425.

ProSAM (Professional Student Aid Management) is the centralized system used to disburse need-based (financial aid) and merit-based (financial support) funding to students.

• Support requests (submitted by departments) in FSRT are transferred (by FSU) to ProSAM for packaging; automated jobs then post transactions via ISIS and OFC.
• Financial Support Unit (FSU) and Financial Aid & Scholarships (FAS) utilize this system to manage packaging, facilitate payments, and meet both IRS and UCOP reporting requirements.  
• Departments can not directly access this system; financial support payments are entered via the FSRT application (see "FSRT" above).

ProSAM will soon be replaced with SFP (Student Financial Planning) - targeted for AY2324- timeline TBD (subject to change based on the ESR-SIS-SLcM timeline).
