Make a Postdoctoral/Predoctoral Payment

Pre-Doctoral payments are made to students at VCU who are paid on a training grant or other extramurally funded source as a trainee rather than as an employee. Post-Doctoral payments are made to individuals who have already obtained their degree, but who are classified as fellows/trainees and are paid on a training grant.

Procurement Services has worked with key departments to design a new and improved Stipend Payment for processing Post Doc, Graduate Assistant and REU payments. This new process utilizes the existing One-Time payment form in RealSource and can be used to process Stipend Payments today. We plan to retire the post doc – predoc scheduled payment process. The new process does not affect any current Post Doc – Predoc scheduled payments, so no action is necessary on existing orders. If a change to an existing scheduled payment or a new Post Doc, Graduate Assistant or REU payment is necessary before July 1st; we recommend using the new Stipend Payment process. Once the existing scheduled orders expire Procurement Services will direct departments to use the new Stipend Process.
