UC San Diego will replace the Financial Aid System as part of the ESR-SIS program, and ProSAM IAM will not be implemented in the interim.
Instead, the current Financial Support Request Tool (FSRT) will continue as the application used to gather graduate financial support (fee remission, fee payment, and stipend) requests from graduate coordinators/other staff in academic departments and programs.
To extend the life cycle of this legacy application for use until the new SIS implementation, configuration updates must be made in ProSAM (more below) that were not originally anticipated.

The disbursement date for fee payments on student billing accounts will be adjusted for graduate students for AY21-22.
Previously, graduate fee payments and employment-based tuition remission did not appear on student billing accounts until 10 days before the start of the academic quarter. This timing is required for federally funded financial aid, and until this year, merit-based graduate student support used the same disbursement schedule in ProSAM as financial aid.
Moving forward, we are aiming to allow graduate fee payments and employment-based tuition remission to post as soon as two business days after registration fees are assessed. The actual date that students will see the payment or remission post to their bill will depend on how early support is scheduled in the FSRT. However, we anticipate that for many students the earlier appearance of the payment will reduce questions to department coordinators as well as FSU/SFS staff.

The Graduate Funding Reform for proportional split of tuition & fees will be partially implemented in AY21-22.
Per ongoing graduate funding reforms, the phased implementation of a proportional split of tuition remission charges between ASE and GSR employee payroll funding sources in Fall 2021 will move forward as planned. Additional details on the implementation of proportional split are forthcoming - please see: Graduate Student Funding Policy & Reforms and FAQ: FSRT Entries & Proportional Split (pardon our dust on this one - major edits coming soon!).
