Hello everyone,
Please be advised that the following information was sent to UMGF and MGS Award Holders regarding the renewal of their awards. This is for your information only with the request to kindly forward it to Heads, Graduate Chairs as well as staff and faculty members who may find this information of interest.
It was determined that the information requested on the UMGF/MGS Renewal forms is available in the students' Annual Progress Report due June 1st to the FGS Student Program Assistants. Given this duplication, we've revised our process accordingly thereby relieving administrative time and resources.
If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you Rowena
