Stipend and Wages Disbursement

The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences works closely with departmental staff members and Directors of Graduate Studies (DGSs)  to ensure that every student’s living support is accurately recorded in our system of record. If you have  questions about or experience any issues with your funding arrangement or living support, your first point of contact should be your departmental administrator or DGS. Also, if you experience an issue (e.g., a missed payment or an incorrect payment) with your funding arrangement or living support, we ask that you report it using the new GSAS student payment issues form. GSAS Student Payment Issue form

This form serves two primary purposes:

Unresolved Issues: If you are experiencing a payment issue and would like GSAS to assist, please submit the issue through the form and flag it as “Unresolved.” This will trigger a notification to Evan Barrow, who leads the GSAS budget team and will follow up to address the problem.

Resolved Issues: If you have experienced a payment issue that has since been resolved, we still encourage you to submit it through the form and flag it as “Resolved.” This allows GSAS and GSASC to track the types and frequency of issues across departments and identify areas for which we can improve systems and processes.
