Student Information Technology Fee
University students have high expectations for learning and living in today’s digital environment. They pay a mandatory annual fee which is used to enhance the university’s student learning environment and increases Arizona’s capacities to meet digital environment expectations.
The Information Technology/Library (ITL) Fee was approved by the Arizona Board of Regents in March 2006. The IT portion of the fee supports modern technology requirements such as wireless access in high-traffic public locations, all campus outdoor areas, enhanced digital classrooms and more.
Communication User FTE Network
The Communication User FTE Network Funding Model is the mechanism by which UITS recovers a portion of the costs of providing data and voice connectivity to University of Arizona campus customers. This model is based on Full Time Equivalent (FTE) employees. For FY19, the FTE Rate was $776 per FTE.

Deferred Maintenance Costs

The replacement cost of the network equipment currently deployed on campus is $29 Million, $8.8 million of which is end of life and needs to be refreshed.
