  III. PROCEDURE:
       
       As appropriate, information will be either submitted to Student
       Financial Services or made available to that office through
       inclusion in common information systems, as follows:
  
       A.   Funds paid through the University Books of Account:
       
            1.   Departments/Committees:
            
                 When an award is approved from any funds paid through the
                 University Books of Account, such as grants or
                 fellowships, when a student is employed in a non-college
                 work-study position, and also when employment which is
                 based on a contract agreement, i.e., teaching or research
                 assistantships, is begun, the Department/Committee will
                 prepare Attachment A and send it to Student Financial
                 Services at the time the award is made. This must be an
                 ongoing procedure throughout the academic year.
            
            2.   Budget Office:
            
                 The Budget Office will notify Student Financial Services
                 of the total allocation of teaching assistantships by
                 school/college. This information normally will be
                 available in mid-June.
            
            3.   Graduate Division:
            
                 The Graduate Division will report their awards utilizing
                 Attachment A and will make available copies of their
                 detailed ledger which indicates to whom the award is made,
                 total amount of award, and the amount paid to date, if
                 necessary; this information will be sent monthly.
            
            4.   Accounting Office:
            
                 The Accounting Office will supply monthly to Student
                 Financial Services a copy of the Summary Ledger.
            
            5.   Student Financial Services:
            
                 Student Financial Services will audit the general
                 information and total amounts received from the office
                 indicated above and balance them with the individual input
                 received from the Departments/Committees (paragraph
                 III.A.).
       
       B.   Funds for Educational Purposes Paid to Students from Outside

                 The Registrar's Office will be responsible for identifying
                 those students receiving Social Security Benefits.
            
            2.   Dean of Students:
            
                 Will use Attachment A to report any offset of fees made
                 for students from outside agency sources.
            
            3.   Accounting Office:
