Graduate Student Funding Report

This report allows users to verify funding sources for payroll, tuition, fees, and stipends across multiple terms/years by graduate student, department, fin unit, and project. It is also used to discern how a student is funded over their tenure as a graduate student. Moreover, it allows the user to view data as individual transactions, summary for each student by accounting period, or both.

The Graduate Student Funding report is available from the Business Analytics Hub (bah.ucsd.edu) under the Exceptions and Reconciliation tab.

This report combines data from three different activity hubs: Student Activity Hub (ISIS data), Financial Activity Hub (PPM subledger data), and Employee Activity Hub (labor ledger data).

How do we get Student PID from financial transactions?

Why is some tuition remission missing from the report?

Short answer: because they haven’t posted.

Why haven’t they posted?

If you find a transaction in the PPM subledger (e.g. in the Transaction Details report) but it is not showing up on this report, please let us know by submitting a ticket! While we’ve done a lot of testing on this report, we know that there are unique cases we may not have accounted for. There may be situations where a transaction did not include a PID in which case it wouldn’t make it into this report.
