UNC Doctoral Students Beyond Fifth Year - Graduate Funding Changes
DTH reporter looking into recent graduate funding changes
Hi everyone, I’m a reporter with The Daily Tar Heel working on a story about recent UNC graduate funding policies and how they are being implemented across departments.
I’m trying to understand whether any departments have recently communicated changes affecting doctoral students beyond their fifth year, including changes related to:
tuition support/remission
mandatory student fees
health insurance coverage
assistantships (TA/RA/TF positions)
stipends or other funding support
If you've heard about this or received any related communications, I'd appreciate hearing from you. Feel free to comment or send me a DM. I can discuss options for anonymity if needed, and I'm also happy to review redacted emails or screenshots of relevant communications if you'd prefer not to share identifying information.
Thank you!
The Daily Tar Heel
