Similar to last year, the following procedures for payment of the University Scholars Program (USP) stipend and research support will apply:
Research Stipend
Payment of the University Scholar stipend will be made in two (2) lump-sum payments ($1,500 in May, $1,000 in August). Depending on the Scholar’s current employment status with UF, the paperwork required to process the lump sums will vary. For example, if the Scholar is currently employed as a student assistant, then departments should complete an SP100 […]

This memorandum is to announce the final report of the Information Technology Review Committee.

University policy requires that USPS employees with special and overtime compensation be paid by fiscal year end. Unlike the special compensation “cash out” payments occurring during the year, this scheduled “cash out” is processed and authorized via the Online Payroll Certification system. The hours accumulated for each employee for this “cash out” will be loaded from the Central Leave Master file as of the night of May 18, 2001 for processing with the payroll period ending May 24, […]

I was shocked and disappointed to learn that the Institute for Hispanic Culture had been vandalized with a racial slur on Monday. Clearly, this incident is an indication that the University of Florida must continue to aggressively and candidly address issues of racial diversity and equality on this campus. While it is impossible for any institution to completely eradicate insensitive and inappropriate behavior, it is important that it be understood that at the University of Florida, such behavior will […]

The University of Florida has a very strong position of respect for all members of our community. We are obviously disappointed when any individual participates in an activity that violates this basic principle. While behavior such what occurred at La Casita on Monday is clearly not representative of our student body, we consider even an isolated event of this type to be unacceptable and intolerable. Should the individual(s) responsible for this act be identified as University of Florida […]

Student Financial Affairs would like to remind colleges and departments of the need to notify our office, as soon as possible, of students receiving college-awarded scholarships, grants, fellowships, stipends, waivers, loans or funds of any type for the upcoming academic year. Federal and state regulations governing financial aid require the university to factor in all sources of assistance when awarding financial aid. In the event that aid has already been awarded or disbursed, regulations require an analysis of the student’s […]
