Deadlines for Support Form Completion

 

Students and their faculty must complete support forms by the following dates each semester/year. These deadlines are driven by the accounting processes required by Georgia Tech Payroll, Bursar’s and Georgia Tech Financial Aid Office for receipt of tuition waivers and stipend payments.

 

  • Fall term submit by July 1st​
  • Spring term submit by November 1st​
  • Summer term submit by April 1st

 

Questions? Please email GradAO@bme.gatech.edu

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Students must personally update their support forms each term.
  • Faculty members (or their designees) approve and provide updated account details.
  • Project numbers for grants routed through Emory will not be available through GT GradWorks. Students should enter the appropriate Emory advisor and Speedtype in fellowships.
  • Strict adherence to the aforementioned deadlines by both students and faculty members is required in order for stipends and any applicable tuition waivers to be processed.

 

Any changes to a student’s status (e.g., receiving a fellowship after support form completion or changing the planned graduation term) should be reported to both the Academic and Finance Offices as soon as possible. Students should initiate a new request through GT GradWorks to update financial support.

BMED Graduate Student Guide for Completing the Support Request

 

All students regardless of major/program, must complete an online request for Student Support each semester. This support request serves three critical functions. First, the information submitted by the student is used by the work department to determine the appropriate stipend payment by homeschool. Second, the information is used by the student home school Graduate Program Coordinator to determine the appropriate tuition waiver for the student. Third, students should self-report all fellowship received. This data will aid in determining supplemental support (if applicable) and the application of the appropriate tuition waiver. This request must be updated each term, even if the source of funding has not changed.
