Telephone billing delayed
The division of Information Technology Services apologizes for
any inconvenience that the delay in telephone billing due to a
rate review may cause.
The Controller's Office is in the process of reviewing the University's
indirect cost rate, and as part of that review, is looking at
the costs that constitute the rates charged for telephone services.
ITS expects the rate review will be concluded shortly and normal
billing will resume. The division is not aware of any significant
change in the rate structure at this time.
Contact Chris Sciulli at cgs3 with questions or concerns.
