Graduate Payroll Deduction Policy
1) The annual cost of foreign health
insurance will be charged to graduate students in two installments,
one half in the fall semester and the other half in the winter
semester. Students admitted in January or May will be required to pay
their prorated premium for the balance of the academic year in their
first semester.
2) If you select the option for payroll deductions in the fall
semester you will be covered for three semesters from the date of
signing. This will eliminate the necessity to complete forms each
semester. If you select the option for payroll deductions after the
fall semester you will be covered for the balance of the semesters in
the academic year (currently in practice). Therefore, all
students who wish to have payroll deductions must submit a new
payroll deduction form each Fall semester. Forms are
available from the Cashier's Office (A1023), the Graduate Students'
Union (Feild Hall), or the School of Graduate Studies (IIC2012). In
addition, the forms can be downloaded here.
Completed forms should be sent directly to the Cashier's Office. If
any changes are made to the form by the Cashier's Office, a corrected
copy will be returned to you. You may also sign and submit a blank
form to the Cashier's Office, it will be completed and a copy
returned to you. Please check the returned form to ensure that all
charges appear. (For example, meal plan, Burton's Pond, Health
Insurance, etc.) It is your responsibility to notify the
Cashier's Office of missing charges.
3) Payroll deduction forms have been changed to identify more
clearly the number of pay periods that fees will be deducted over and
the amount of each deduction. Please retain a copy of your deduction
agreement.
4) If you are late in signing your payroll deduction
authorization, or you experience delays in the processing your
graduate support, your accumulated deductions will be deducted from
your accumulated retroactive support payments wherever
possible.
5) For students who have completed their authorization by the fees
payment deadline (see University Diary), payroll deduction should
commence with the second pay period in each semester and will be
extended over the maximum number of periods available within a
semester. This will usually result in a minimum of
seven to a maximum of eight
deductions per semester.
6) If you change your registration status or are charged late
fees, library fines, etc., you will be responsible for contacting the
Cashier's Office to arrange an increase in their deduction agreement
or arrange direct payment prior to the commencement of the next
semester.
7) Outstanding fees for a semester must be
settled prior to the commencement of the next semester. You may
access your student account through Memorial Self-Service to
determine your status.
8) If you negotiate an emergency loan you may choose to repay it
through a lump-sum payment, or you may contact the Cashier's Office
to arrange deduction amounts in the semester in which the loan is
due. You will not be permitted to increase your deductions for
outstanding fees or loans past due.
