It does not include such items as college course fees, or college technology/facility fees, or any other enrollment costs. Neither does it cover any other general fees or expenses.

For a 0.25 FTE appointment, the student must pay the other half of the tuition and health insurance costs. The actual cost of the tuition for a 0.25 FTE assignment will be half of the ACTUAL tuition charges incurred. The health insurance benefit can only be awarded if the student pays the other half.
