TO:       Graduate Program Assistants:

I was asked to circulate, via e-mail, the text from a letter which was
recently mailed to Deans, Directors, and Chairs on campus.  We would
appreciate it if you would assist us by making this information
available to graduate students in your unit or others who you believe
may be affected by this policy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------


August 23, 1996


Deans, Directors and Chairs,

The student Technology Fee that was authorized in the 1996 session of
the Washington State Legislature and approved by the students, will be
implemented in Autumn Quarter 1996.  In consultation with President
McCormick, Acting Provost Huntsman, the University Budget Committee, and
other advisory bodies, a policy has been adopted by which most
state-funded and non state-funded Graduate Service Appointees
(TA/RA/SA), as well as many fellows and trainees, will be exempted from
payment either through waiving the fee or charging it to a central
University account.  For students supported by self-sustaining and
Research Support Allocation (RSA) budgets, the fee will be charged to
the employing budget.

Criteria for this exemption for Graduate Student Service Appointees
(TA/RA/SA) are the same as those that constitute eligibility for
Schedule 1 or Schedule 3 (9 credits, service appointment of 50% or more
for 5 of 6 pay periods); criteria for eligibility for fellows/trainees
are the same as those that constitute eligibility for appointee health
insurance (9 credits, payment of at least $800 per month for 5 of 6 pay
periods). All other students are required to pay the Technology Fee.

Please communicate this policy decision to those persons in your units
who will be affected by it.

Sincerely,


Marsha L. Landolt
Dean and Vice Provost
