Attention – Award Holders

As G+PS is getting ready to assign and renew awards for the 2022 Summer session, please be reminded of your responsibilities to ensure timely payment of your award funding in May:

• Registration: Please register for courses in the 2022S session. Award holders (including tuition award recipients) are required to maintain course registration for the duration of their award funding period.  Failure to register for 2022S courses will result in award payment being delayed.
