| As of 2022, the Graduate Student Affairs Coordinator (Yasasha Ridel in 2022) provides an individualized funding schedule to each graduate student. Your job is to read this, review it to ensure it is correct, and reply affirming so or providing corrections. If you want to get paid properly it is, in the end, up to YOU to keep track of your funding. | As of 2022, the Graduate Student Affairs Coordinator (Yasasha Ridel in 2022) provides an individualized funding schedule to each graduate student. Your job is to read this, review it to ensure it is correct, and reply affirming so or providing corrections. Though the grad students spent several years working with the faculty to get this better pay system (which has solved a lot of issues), if you want to get paid properly it is, in the end, up to YOU to keep track of your funding. |

| Your pay schedule depends on what type of funding you have. For most GSI/GSR positions, you'll get paid in monthly installments at the beginning of each month. Department fellowships get paid in lump sums at the beginning of the semester, while e.g. NSF fellowships are disbursed monthly like GSI/GSR stipends. Note that electronic fund transfers for fellowships and GSI positions differ, so be sure to set them up separately, if you don't want to have to go fetch a paper check each month. | Your pay schedule depends on what type of funding you have.

| Note that graduate students do not typically get paid evenly throughout the year (i.e., it is not correct to simply divide the annual salary by 12 to get a monthly amount). Certain fellowships, teaching pay, research pay, and summer vs. academic year pay are often distributed unevenly and on different schedules throughout the year. This is particularly important for first-year students as they adjust to finances in grad school. Time permitting, the GSAO will try to provide regular pay schedules for graduate students. Please contact the GSAO with any specific questions about funding. | Note that graduate students do not typically get paid evenly throughout the year (i.e., it is not correct to simply divide the annual salary by 12 to get a monthly amount).
