Paying Students

Faculty are responsible for the payment of student team members and may use any method in compliance with the university's policy on paying students.

Who may I pay with UROP funding?

Students must be degree-seeking undergraduates at the CU Â鶹ӰԺ throughout the grant term to be eligible for UROP funding and must not receive funding from another UROP source (e.g. Student Grant) during the same grant term.

What method does UROP recommend?

Faculty are encouraged to talk to student team members about payment and select the method most appropriate for their situation. Area accountants can advise about paying students with employment, stipends or financial aid.

University's OFA Policy

Stipends paid using the university's payroll system (job code 3205) are considered "Other Financial Aid" (OFA) according to the university's policy and must be reported to the Office of Financial Aid.
