---+ How much is student support?

---++2013/14 Updates:
   * MSc first two terms: $6166.67/term = $18,500/year
   * MSc in research mode: $6667.67/term = $20,000/year
   * <nop>PhD: $22,000/year

---++MSc:

During the school year: 
   * $800/term if they TA
   * $5,800/term if they don't TA

During the summer: 
   * $2,000 if they TA both periods
   * $4,000 if they TA one period
   * $5,800 if they don't TA at all

*Annual Cost Examples:* Therefore, an MSc student who TAs:
   * as much as possible: $3,600 / yr
   * all year and once in the summer: $5,600 / yr
   * once during the year and not at all in the summer: $12,400 / yr
   * not at all: $17,300 / yr

---++<nop>PhD:

During the school year: 
   * $1,400/term if they TA
   * $6,600/term if they don't

During the summer: 
   * $2,700 if they TA twice
   * $4,500 if they TA once
   * $6,600 if they don't TA at all

*Annual Cost Examples:* Therefore, a <nop>PhD student who TAs:
   * as much as possible: $5,500 / yr
   * all year and once in the summer: $7,300 / yr
   * once during the year and not at all in the summer: $14,600 / yr
   * not at all: $19,700 / yr


_Caveat: During the summer, there are two terms, during each of which students can TA. The two terms actually pay slightly different amounts, but I've picked a number in between the two values to make things simpler._

_Caveat 2: Students actually get an additional 0.31% of whatever you pay them as benefits.  However, the university asks us to budget this number at 18% (for RAs--TAs at 4%).  When submitting budgets for the costs of students, add 4% regardless of TA/RA.  For a position such as a lab manager, etc., this is really at 18%._
