Student Assistance

BUDGETS
This funding, budgeted for annually, is to provide for tutorial assistance, demonstrators, essay markers as well as Graduate Assistant Bursaries within academic departments.

A budget allocation is made by the HR Division and then an allocation of this to Faculties takes place by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor: Research and Development where-after the Deans allocate a budget to the various departments. This is usually done in January/February of the new year.

Note that this budget is to be distinguished from that for students who are sometimes appointed in the department to assist with administration work.  Such funding would be requested under the Temporary Assistance budget as part of the HR Division budget process.
