UW Oshkosh Student Tech fee

policy and procedures

Policy:

The overall purpose of the Student Technology Fee is to enhance student access to information technologies which are in addition to those available prior to the fee's creation. Information technologies are defined as applications and solutions that result in a student's ability to access information for learning and that meet the University's educational mission.

Revenues from the Student Technology Fee may not replace funds which were previously allocated to information technologies unless the funds being replaced are from student segregated or user fees.

Specific uses of the Student Technology Fee will relate to the following broad goals, which have been identified as top priorities by the Oshkosh Student Association:

  1. Additional staffing and services for computer labs.
  2. Additional student computer workstations or upgrade of existing computers.
  3. Additional or upgraded software in student computer labs.
  4. Additional training for students on use of computers, software, e-mail, networks, etc.
  5. Networking, e-mail, and/or dial-in access for students.

OSA may propose modifications and/or additions to these priorities.

Expenditures from the Student Technology Fee should also relate to goals identified in the University's annual Strategic Plan for Information Technology.

Procedures:

  1. The University shall establish a separate account for the Student Technology Fee.
  2. The Oshkosh Student Association shall appoint annually a Student Technology Fee Committee. OSA will determine the number of students on this Committee. Continuity of members is encouraged. The Committee may solicit proposals and suggestions from students.
  3. Each Spring Semester, the Director of Academic Computing will provide the OSA Student Technology Fee Committee with a) a summary report on the current year's projects funded by the Student Technology Fee and b) proposals for projects to be funded by the Student Technology Fee during the next fiscal year. The Committee will review and provide commentary on proposed uses of the Student Technology Fee.
  4. In consultation with the Student Technology Fee Committee and other appropriate committees and individuals, the Director of Academic Computing will determine those projects to be funded by the Student Technology Fee.
  5. The Director of Academic Computing will prepare the annual campus report on projects funded by the Student Technology Fee (due to UW System in October). Copies of this report will be provided to the OSA President, members of the Student Technology Fee Committee, Chancellor, Provost and Vice Chancellor, Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs, and Executive Director of Administrative Services.
