  1. WING Meeting KAN Min-Yen 28 Dec 2012

  2. Printing • Banner pages are not counted against your quota • Printing double sided incurs only 75% of your printing quota • E.g. 12 single sided pages printed double sided incurs 8 pages of your quota • There is no command line option or printer queue that does not invoke the banner. • We can disable banner sheets for research printers if everyone in a lab unanimously agrees to it. • https://docs.comp.nus.edu.sg/node/1497

  3. RA/RS Arrangements • Scholarships from NExT / CSIDM (Centres) are actually drawn from the general pool for PhD funding • This means when your 4 years are up, you no longer have scholarship • Often you can get 6 months’ of tuition waiver • Also converting to support via RA/TA or p/t RA/TA incurs give you salary (~3K per month) • But then you have to pay the tuition fees (~2K per term?) • As staff you can apply for tuition fee reduction. But you may not get it as it nominally applies to staff working 1 year or longer

  4. Internships • Internships of 3-6 months usually don’t stop your RS (stipend), unless you apply to have it stopped. • Internships do count against your maximum candidature of 5 years. • You can apply to extend your maximum candidature for one semester but beyond that is difficult • School is under pressure to have you graduate too

  5. Conclusion • When you’re an early RS, save up your money to hold against your fifth year. • When you’re interning, try to negotiate some stipend, and think about whether you want to have your stipend stopped.
