How do I receive my Final Summer Research Check?

1. Work with your summer research faculty advisor to write a report that summarizes your summer work. This report may take any form that is acceptable to your faculty research advisor. When your advisor has approved this report, send the report as an attachment (.pdf or .doc format) to Barb Tricozzi at tricozzb@union.edu.

2. Barb Tricozzi will forward your report to your faculty research advisor. Your advisor will reply to this message indicating his/her official approval of the final report.

3. Fill out the Evaluation of Summer Research Survey.

When we have received completed versions of all of the above, your final check will be issued by the Payroll office.* The final deadline for completing all of this is Friday, September 18, 2009.

*Checks are issued once every two weeks. Depending on when you submit your report, it could be up to 3 weeks before you receive your check.
