HOW DOES THE TUITION RETURN PROCESS WORK?
Because the tuition is returned as state funding, all GTRIP funds must be used within the fiscal year in which they are returned. Units can choose whether to receive the GTRIP funding in the fiscal year of the tuition expenditure or at the start of the following fiscal year. This will allow units to maximize the time in which the funding can be used. GTRIP funding may not be split over fiscal years. Please note that some colleges or units may have more specific guidelines regarding timing of tuition return funds distribution. More information on the program itself can be found on the Graduate School website.
RECEIVING APPROVED GTRIP RETURN FUNDS
The University Budget Office compiles fully approved GTRIP returns for posting once per month, between the 15th and 20th. If a return receives final approval after the monthly list has been compiled, it will be posted during the next month’s cycle.
