Telecommunications Charges

Introduction

The Office of Information Technology, in concert with the Division of Finance and Administration has changed the procedures for telephone service charges. Auxiliary and other non-General Fund units will begin receiving monthly bills effective July 2020.

71700 Unified Telecommunications Charges will no longer be billed semi-annually, but rather these funds will be transferred by the University Budget office requiring no action on the part of  departments.

Adds, moves, changes associated with institutional driven projects such as building renovations or moves related to new construction will continue to be covered as project costs.

Adds, moves and changes made at the discretion of your department will be charged on a time and material basis per the information shown below.
