Tuition Reduction Benefit Information

Intended Position

Because Tuition Reduction Benefit (TRB) award documents can be created at any time until the end of the semester of the award, the award recipients will often not have student assignments in HRMS at the time the TRB document is being processed. Therefore, the document creator must identify the job title that the recipients are expected to be assigned to by selecting Teaching Assistant or Assistant Instructor or Graduate Research Assistant.

Note: All recipients on the document must have approved HRMS assignments matching the intended position by the 20th class day in order to keep the award. Recipients who do not have a corresponding assignment will have their award automatically cancelled on the 20th class day.
