For the Fall Quarter, TAs receive paychecks on November 1, December 1, and January 2. </li> <li><strong>Fee Remission:</strong> Graduate students hired as TAs, Readers or Tutors, at 25% or greater time receive a partial Fee & Tuition remission, which includes the Student Health Insurance Program (SHIP) fees. These graduate student employees are still responsible for paying local campus fees, as well as non-resident supplemental tuition (NRST) if the student is not a California resident. If the TA has a fellowship for NRST he/she will pay the same amount per quarter as a California resident: <a href="http://afs.ucdavis.edu/our_services/student-accounting/for-departments/remission-fees.html">current remission rates</a>. To insure you do not receive a late fee, see <a href="http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/calendar/fees.cfm">http://registrar.ucdavis.edu/calendar/fees.cfm</a> for each quarter's deadline.</li> <li><strong>TA Loan Fund:</strong> There is also a TA Loan Fund to assist TAs over the lean period at the beginning of the quarter. It is administered by the Short Term Loan Office (located in the<a href="http://financialaid.ucdavis.edu/"> Financial Aid Office</a>). Visit the financial aid office in Dutton Hall for information on applying for a loan.</li> <li><strong>Moving Expenses:</strong> New graduate students who are appointed as TAs at 50% time for the full academic year and who move to Davis from outside of California may receive partial compensation for their moving expenses based on the approximate air miles from the point of origin to UC Davis.</li> </ul> <h3>FAQ</h3> <ul class="list--faq"> <li><strong>How do I get credit (units) for my work as a TA?</strong> </li> <li>50% TAs may sign up for 4 units of SPA 396.
