Notes:

*This rate does not include costs to cover health insurance premiums. During the summer period, undergraduate and graduate students who are not enrolled on a full-time basis and are paid on the undergraduate payroll will be charged this rate.

**Increase due mainly to a projected increase in the contribution rate to the National Benefit Fund (NBF), as well as a FY '11 unfavorable variance which accounts for 3 points of the increase.
