Payment Process for Projects
UROP makes award offers in decision notices sent by email. Students should be attentive to their awarded grant term, because the timelines for these steps differ by term.
Students must accept or decline award offers using an online form linked in their decision notice by the deadline posted online.
Students without a CU employee identification number (EID) must submit the Personal Information (PI) form by the deadline posted online. Students without a social security number (SSN) should contact UROP.
UROP's payment partners in the Human Resources Service Center (HRSC) enter award information into the payroll system and enroll students without an EID (using information collected in the PI form).
Students without an existing EID will need to setup direct deposit during the "direct deposit window" posted online, and students with an existing EID should double-check their information at this time.
Student payments are issued in one lump sum based on the award timeline posted online. Students should check their accounts to ensure payment was received.
