The Technology Access Fee (TAF) proposal process
for the 2008-2009 fiscal
year ended January 31, 2008, at 5 PM. The Instructional Technology
Committee will be meeting in February and March to recommend proposals for
funding.
TAF PROCESS
TAF funds are required to be spent in the year collected.
Projects are approved by line items, not by dollars.
Because projects are not allocated dollars, any savings
through the purchase process are collected in the overall
TAF accounts and used to balance the TAF accounts at
the end of the year. Purchases requested past March
may not receive funding.
The
allocation process used by the committee may be
accessed here.
