No additional fees Prior to the first day of the summer, fall, and spring semesters, students may select from a number of payment options (refer to the Student Accounts section for details).

General Schedule (US civil service pay scale) The general schedule (GS) is the predominant pay scale within the United States civil service. The GS includes the majority of white collar personnel (professional, technical, administrative, and clerical) positions. As of September 2004, 71 percent of federal civilian employees were paid under the GS.
In order to advance to the nest GS level, an employee must first obtain all ten steps. The slowest rate of progression is stipulated as one year for steps 2, 3, and 4, two years for steps 5,6, and 7 and three years for steps 8, 9, and 10. This slow pace of promotion is rarely implemented for most FBI personnel, as the âquality step increaseâ may award successful employees with a promotion at any time.
