Graduate Assistant Payroll Deduction

Graduate Assistant Payroll Deduction

Graduate assistants (GAs) can make payments in the Student Administration System via payroll deduction. GAs (excluding the UConn Health Center) are eligible to use payroll deduction as a method of paying University charges not covered by their tuition waiver. There is no additional cost for participating in the payroll deduction plan. If you qualify for GA Payroll Deduction, you MUST enroll by the 10th day of classes. After Day 10, the GA Payroll Deduction portal will close and will not reopen. No exceptions.

Fee bills for graduate students are due the Friday before classes begin. As a benefit of your assistantship, you will receive a tuition waiver for the duration of the appointment and reduced student fees, including a reduction to the General University Fee, waivers of the Infrastructure Fee and Visa Compliance Fee, and a lump sum relief payment of the Student Recreation Center Fee. The Student Recreation Center Fee must be paid upfront; the relief payment will be processed through Payroll after the 10th day of classes.  Graduate Assistant waivers are only available for use in Fall and Spring semesters and are not available for use in Winter and/or Summer terms.
