Student Technology Fee
The Student Technology Fee Committee would like to hear from you!
91视频 assesses a Technology Fee to ensure students have access to the latest instructional technology resources available. The fee is earmarked for instructional technologies to keep 91视频 up to date with the technology needed for today鈥檚 teaching and learning methodologies. All revenue generated from the technology fee goes directly towards funding instructional technology initiatives.
A committee comprised of students and IT representatives from each school will review proposals and vote to select discretionary initiatives receiving funding each year, with annual reports to be provided to the 91视频 community.
Fee Proposal Eligibility Requirements
All technology purchased and implemented by the Technology Fee must have the ability to be supported by current staffing levels in university areas. If specific departments request technology that will be used in their areas, they should include an explanation of how it will be supported within their area.
The Technology Fee is intended to fund projects and initiatives that benefit the largest amount of the student population possible. Submission of projects that benefit small groups of students or otherwise restrict access to Technology Fee funded equipment is discouraged. Academic areas should seek funding from their Deans and Chairpersons prior to seeking funding from the Technology Fee. All technology purchased and implemented by the Technology Fee must have the ability to be supported by current staffing levels in university areas.
