Student Stipend Form

Using a Student Stipend Form

The Student Stipend Form should be used to pay students who are taking part in a one-time event or who are being paid to perform a particular task. It should not be used to pay students who are engaged in hourly work. Students who are performing hourly work must be hired via the Student Certification Form and record their hours on a timecard to be paid on a biweekly basis.

Please note that Student Stipend checks should be picked up at either the Information Desk in Couer de Catherine or the Student Accounts Window on the second floor of Derham (depending on time of day). Checks are cut in accordance with the student payroll schedule. Students should be prepared to show an ID.
