Grad student bursary

Often, to supplement a grad student's funding Krista will submit a top-up stipend for them. This bursary is submitted on the Graduate Studies Bursary form (found here).

Once completed by the lab manager, it will go through an email approval chain. First, send an email to the graduate student asking them to look over the information to ensure it's accurate and then forward it to Krista stating their approval in the body of the email. Then, Krista will look over the form and send her approval to the Psychology Chair stating her approval. The Chair will finally send their approval to the payroll for processing. You should also CC the chair's assistant ([e-mail]). See an example email below.
