For all other changes, please email internal.grants@wku.edu.
All students must be included in the approved project budget and must be pre-approved
before hiring. Please review the information below and email internal.grants@wku.edu with any questions.
- RCAP EPAF Approvers - Please review this guide when completing EPAFs for RCAP projects. RCAP does not need
to approve a GA contract. RCAP does not support GA tution.
- RCAP Student Employment Form - All students that will be hired through Student Financial Assistance must be PRE-APPROVED by RCAP first. Please use this form to obtain pre-approval. The student payroll
schedule may be helpful in determining when hours worked will be paid: https://www.wku.edu/strategyopfin/payroll/.
Administrative Support Personnel at the department and college level can sign-up for
the listserv to receive important RCAP notifications.
