Summary
IT Services provides audio-visual (AV) equipment to the campus community to supplement classrooms and related events. To ensure this equipment is maintained / replaced when needed, there is a standard cost-recovery fee noted below. These fees are not applicable to classroom / academic support (e.g., lapel microphone for an instructor or temporary loan of projector due to equipment failure). In addition, equipment fees are not charged for events that are related to regular operating activities, such as Board of Governor meetings, professional development sessions, Faculty / Staff meetings, etc. However, a standard delivery fee may be assessed, as noted below.
Generally, fees are charged for the following types of events:
- Conference or similar event where there is a registration fee
- Student group events
- Events that are outside of available service hours (noted below), such as recruitment fairs
Please note, fees for clients external to the University are double the charge back rates quoted below.
