Technology Recharge Fee and Self-Sustaining Services

Technology Recharge Fee

The Technology Recharge Fee was established in 2010 to provide a sustainable long-term funding model for critical information technology services at the UW. The fee is a per capita rate paid by all UW academic and administrative units to supplement existing central funds, which pay for the basic services.

Technology Recharge Fee Rates for FY 2013

The FY 2013 Technology Recharge Fee is effective July 1, 2012. There is no rate increase for FY 2013; it remains the same as it was for the previous two fiscal years:

• $52.68 per month per capita for all academic and administrative units
• $53.43 per month per capita for the Medical Centers (in addition to a separate service-level agreement for network and telecommunication services)

The dial tone rate for FY 2013:

• $4.05 per month per line, the same as last year. This continues the
  33 percent decrease from the FY 2011 rate of $6.18 per month (further reduced from the FY 2010 rate of $25.80 per month)

Technology Fee Review and Rate Setting Process

The IT Costing Oversight Group of representatives from academic and administrative units was charged by the Provost with reviewing the fee level and methodology for FY 2013. The Provost accepted the committee’s recommendation to keep the FY 2013 fee at its 2012 level, to continue with the same basic bundle of services, including the Microsoft and Apple licensing agreements, and to continue with the same methodology for calculating the fee.
