What is the approximate time-frame for students to receive their payment?
Roughly two weeks HOWEVER, since this process is completely electronic, the estiamted payment date is directly dependent on the day your PI approves an award. Please keep in mind that after your PI approves an award, ORSP (26* accounts; all levels), the Graduate School (14*, 19*, 30* accounts; Master-level and Doctoral-level awards) or Financial Aid (all other awards) reviews the award. Once the respective party approves the award, it goes to the final “approvers” of the process, which is The Office of Financial Aid. After The Office of Financial Aid approves the award, the award information gets posted into Banner. A check is mailed out to the student within or by five business days. The ONLY exception is a Tuition Support Award, this type of award is automatically applied to the student’s tuition balance.

What can be done in case my PI is not receiving an email notification to approve an award?
