Payroll Deduction Plan

The Payroll Deduction Plan provides an option for graduate students with an assistantship to pay the university bill over time rather than in one lump sum at the start of the quarter. The plan automatically deducts from your bimonthly salary to pay quarterly charges.  

Eligibility

All the requirements below must be met:

• As a graduate student, you have an assistantship during the current academic quarter that has been fully approved by the department.
• You have a minimum of $500 in charges for the payroll deduction option you selected. 
• You enroll in payroll deduction before the enrollment deadline.

Enrollment Instructions & Timeline

To enroll for payroll deduction, follow these instructions and take note of this calendar.

• Enrollment for the new academic year will be available after September 3.
• We recommend that you enroll as early as possible once your assistantship is confirmed.
• You may choose to enroll in payroll deduction for one full academic year at a time or for one quarter at a time.
• You may select from four payroll deduction options, which cover different categories of charges to be paid via payroll deduction.
