GGR 1.17 Minimum Funding

  • A reminder that according to GGR 1.3.1, students are admitted to graduate programs. Funding commitments are, therefore, made by the graduate program, which is responsible for ensuring that the student is funded for the duration of the guaranteed funding period. Oversight of funding minima is the shared responsibility of supervisors, supervisory committees, graduate program committees, faculties and Graduate Studies (GGR 1.17.6).
  • When students accept RA or TA assignments in addition to the guaranteed sources of funding throughout the academic year, the funding associated with the sources of funding defined in the annual minima should not be reduced as long as students continue to meet the expectations associated with satisfactory performance and satisfactory progress in the duties associated with existing assignments. (GGR 1.17.7) Conversely, if an RA or TAship is part of the student鈥檚 funding package and the student declines and/or does not apply for the position(s), the annual funding offered to the student will be reduced by the amount associated with the funding that has been declined or not applied for. This may result in annual funding that is below the guaranteed minimum. (GGR 1.17.10).
