Technology Fee Request Guidelines for FY08

Technology Fee funds for departmental awards will be allocated based on the following guidelines.

  1. Follow priorities assigned by Deans, based on the SACS unit goals.
  2. Give priority to low cost, but high impact, applications.
  3. Consider DLABS services and computing lab hardware/software before funding for peripherals such as GPS devices, cameras, VCRs, and other equipment.
  4. Requests for network installation will be considered only if there is a departmental commitment for the recurring monthly port charges.
  5. Make an effort to equitably distribute the funding among as many different departments as possible.
  6. Give special attention to colleges or departments that did not receive significant investments in the previous year.
  7. Departmental staffing will not be considered for funding.

Requests will be brought to the Technology Advisory Board for review and recommendations. Awards are not for a specific amount of monies and no funds will be provided via a transfer voucher. Requested equipment will be provided directly by the Office of Information Technology and will remain on the inventory of the Technology Fee account according to the Technology Fee inventory management policy.
