Contact(s)
- SNR Graduate Program Coordinator - Brooke Mott, bmott2@unl.edu, 911 South HARH EC 0989, Phone: 402-472-5355
If, during the course of the semester, a student decides to leave the position, they are expected to give 30 days' notice. Likewise, if there is a need to terminate an assistantship, a student will be given 30 days' notice. Students should be aware that if their assistantship is terminated, either by themselves or the department, before completing 120 continuous days of employment (PER SEMESTER), all tuition and health benefits will be forfeited and the entire cost for those benefits will once post to their student account. Should a student choose to resign from their assistantship, they must submit a letter of resignation to their supervisor, Graduate Studies, the SNR Graduate Program Coordinator, and the HR Generalist at unl-nrbchr@unl.edu. They may request a copy of the original signed offer letter from the SNR Graduate Program Coordinator.
Additionally,
- Students must work with their adviser to establish a plan to transfer information, data, samples, files with data entry, as well as the raw data sheets and unanalyzed samples (and any other information as directed by their adviser). Also, given that a student may still be on the grant payroll for the month, they may be expected to complete any tasks that are in line with transferring duties over to other members of the lab or the research team.
- Contact the Natural Resources Business Center (NRBC) HR Generalist regarding payroll information, forwarding address and phone, and to provide a letter of resignation.

- If applicable, return a parking permit to Parking and Transit Services for discontinuation and possible refund.
