Welcome!

To the new KSU graduate students of the Division of Biology,

We would like to be the first to welcome you into the Biology Graduate Student Association (BGSA). Our

organization is comprised of all of our excellent graduate students located in the Division of Biology. For

many years the BGSA has fostered the means to provide graduate students of the Division of Biology

with exceptional research and learning experiences. We strive to make our academic lives the best that

they can be while having fun and enjoying the company of our biology family. We are glad that you will

be joining us!

In the following weeks you will be leaving your homes to join us here at KSU. This time period can be

extremely exciting (but also tiring), and the BGSA would like to help you. We will be hosting one or more

social events to meet fellow graduate students, and we will email you the specifics as the dates

approach. We arent just an organization of all work and no play; we like to have fun as well!

Your transition to graduate school can be tough, especially during the first few weeks to months. Rest

assured that you are not alone, so talk to other new and seasoned graduate students for support! Here

is an article that we hope you will find useful during this time:The Importance of Stupidity in Scientific

Research.

Once again, we would like to extend our congratulations on your arrival into one of the most prestigious

graduate biology programs in the Midwest! We look forward to working with you, and we definitely look

forward to getting to know you! Welcome to the Division of Biology graduate program at Kansas State

University and welcome to the BGSA!

Sincerely,

The BGSA Welcoming Committee

What is the Biology Graduate Student Association (BGSA)?

TheBGSAconsists of all the Division of Biology graduate students. Once you become a graduate student,

you are automatically a member of the BGSA and are invited to attend our monthly meetings. We

promote professional development of graduate students by providing a forum to keep members

informed of university policies, discuss academic concerns, and share ideas to further enrich our

professional development. To support the graduate student body, the BGSA awards travel and finishing

grants, invites and hosts seminar speakers and training seminars, coordinates lab manual sales, and

plans social events for incoming and current graduate students.

Graduate Research Assistant (GRA) vs. Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA)If you are a GRA that generally means that the Division of Biology is not providing your stipend. Instead,

money for your stipend may be taken from a grant of your advisor. If you are a GTA, that means that the

Division of Biology is providing your stipend. No matter your designation, the teaching responsibilities

are still the same; you have to teach one class during the fall and spring semesters. For tuition

reimbursement, GRAs receive an extra check a couple of weeks into the fall and spring semesters. GRAs

must then use that money to pay their tuition. Unfortunately this money is taxed, so depending on your

tax status, being a GRA can mean getting less money for tuition (and you will have to come up with the

remainder out of your own pocket). Fortunately, you can get most of this money back on your tax

return the following year. GTAs on the other hand never see a tuition check and so the money is not

taxed. Both GRAs and GTAs are responsible for summer tuition (See Campus Fees below).

Teaching assignments

Before the semester begins,Dr. David Rintoulwill e-mail you a teaching assignment form. This form will

list which courses are in need of teaching assistants, and you will list your top choices and also the

classes you would prefer not to be assigned to. Teaching assignments will be based on your requests

and the needs of the Division. Many new graduate students choose to teach K-State s introductory

biology course, Principles of Biology, or a course that is closely related to their own research interests.

Be prepared to spend 4-6 hours per week preparing for and teaching your assigned course. Once youhave received your TA assignment, the coordinator or main professor will provide further information.

International Students

A great resource for International students is theInternational Student and Scholar Serviceslocated in

the International Student Center on campus.

K-State Website Information

You can access your student information through four important links on the K-State homepage. Each

page requires an eid (electronic id), which is the same as your e-mail address. You will create your eid

and password upon entrance to K-State. Your eid is not your wildcat id number.

ISIS: Browse the course catalog, enroll in classes, view academic records, transfer credits,update personal information, access campus finances (pay and view tuition and fees), etc.

K-State Online: View and post information on the courses you are taking and TAing* KSOLallows you to view/post assignments, announcements, readings and grades for the class that

you TA. Here you can also take/post online quizzes, submit assignments via electronic drop box,

and view class rosters for the courses you are taking.

*Note: For the classes you TA, instructors must grant you access to the course site before you

can view or edit it.

HRIS: View paychecks, update direct deposit information, order parking permits (student permitonly), change tax information, view/change personal data, etc.

Webmail: Your campus email account. (http://www.webmail.ksu.edu )Course Enrollment

You can browse the course catalog and enroll in classes through the ISIS link on the K-state homepage.

ISIS shows you detailed class information (dates, times, section, instructor, units, and status) and allows

you to enroll, add classes, drop classes and view your class schedule. If you are not able to enroll in

classes due to a hold on your records, check the campus personal information section to see the details

of the hold. Most likely, as a new student, you will need to update your personal information in either

ISIS or HRIS (ethnicity, marital status, emergency contacts etc.).

Both the Division of Biology and the larger KSU Graduate School have coursework requirements for

graduate students. The Division of Biology requirements are on the Graduate Studieswebsite, and the

KSU Graduate School requirements are in theGraduate Handbook.

Coursework requirements vary depending on your degree. In general, course numbers 700-799 are

undergraduate upper-division or graduate courses. 800-899 are masters-level graduate courses. 900-

999 are doctoral-level graduate courses. When searching for classes, dont forget to look under BIOL 890

Advanced Topics in Biology, which is where specialized biology graduate courses are posted. Your

adviser and fellow graduate students can assist you in choosing classes if you need help.

Health Insurance

As a graduate student, we have access togeneral healthanddental and visioninsurance. F1 and J1

International students havemandatory health insurance. Insurance must be renewed every semester

(fall, spring, and summer). Every fall,Becki Bohnenblustwill place the new insurance enrollment form inyour mailbox; you must fill this out and turn it into Edwards Hall. For spring and summer, you will

receive a renewal notice in the mail.

Office Space

If your advisor has not arranged office space for you, talk toBecki Bohnenblustin the Biology Main

Office located in 116 Ackert Hall.

Mailboxes

Located in 104 Ackert Hall, the mailboxes are arranged in alphabetical order by last name. The mailbox

order usually changes at the beginning of each semester, so double check that your box is still yours!

Keys

To obtain keys for the building, lab, or office, talk toDiane Ukenain the Biology Main Office Located in

116 Ackert Hall. You will have to sign a key card and drop it off at Dykstra Hall. In a day or two, you pick

up your keys from the same location in Dykstra Hall. You must bring your student ID.

Tuition Fee Removal

If you are a GRA, you may end up receiving the check to pay for tuition after the tuition has become past

due and late fees have accrued. To remove late fees visitwww.ksu.edu/pay, click on the Forms-cashiers office link, then click the document titled Petition for Default Charge Waiver.Becki

Bohnenblustin the main office can provide a letter explaining the situation to be turned in with the

Petition.

Campus fees

We are responsible for our campus privilege fees throughout the year, but we are only responsible for

tuition during the summer semester. GTAs have tuition waived during the fall and spring semester, and

GRAs receive a check reimbursing them for the cost of tuition (See GRA vs. GTA above). We must be

enrolled in at least one credit in the summer and at least 9 credits during the fall and spring semester.

Parking Permits

If you plan to park a vehicle on campus, you need to get a parking permit. You can get either a faculty

(W) or student (O) permit, and you can get a permit for a semester or entire year. If you get a faculty

permit, you need to get a proof of employment form fromBecki Bohnenblustand take it to the parking

permit office located in the parking garage. If you get a student permit, you can order it online.

Graduate students in the past have found getting a faculty permit is a better option for our schedules

and convenience of location on campus. However, you may want to checkparking lot zonesto see what

is best for you.

Seminars and Journal Clubs

Everyone is required to attend the weeklyDivision seminar, which is currently at 4 pm on Friday in 221

Ackert during the fall and spring semesters. Journal club and additional seminar participation depends

on your advisor and the program you are involved in. For a list of all the current journal clubs and

seminars click on the link above and click on the Journal Club Schedule tab.

Listservs

You will automatically be added to the Biology listserv, but if you have not been added contactDiane

Ukena. Other listservs that you may want to join are the BGSA (BGSA-L) and Konza (KONZA-L). To join

the BGSA listserv, email the person designated on the contacts tabhere. To join all other listservs and/or

see available listservs, follow the instructionshere, using the name in parentheses above.
