• Existing Payroll awards whose award end date is 31 August 2015 or earlier will remain on Payroll. There will be no changes to the payment method or schedule for these awards.
• Existing Payroll awards whose award end date is after 31 August 2015 will be moved to SISC effective 1 May 2015. These awards will be assigned on SISC by mid-April 2015 and pay out a lump sum instalment in early May for the May-August 2015 term. These awards will remain on SISC for the rest of their funding period.
• All new awards (e.g., new Tri-Agency awards from the spring 2015 competition announcements) will be assigned on SISC. No new award appointments will be created on Payroll.

Information about which awards will transition from Payroll to SISC will be communicated directly to each student affected and to graduate programs in the coming weeks.
