Frequently Asked Questions:
- Can I use summer session funds for research?
- Per Office of the President guidance, units are encouraged to compensate instructors with salary instead of deposits to Academic Enrichment Accounts (formerly called research accounts). As a practice, it is best to use summer sessions fees for instruction rather than research.
