Funding
requirements
Academic Computing Resources are available to
faculty and graduate
students for standard research and instructional
purposes.
Research funded by grants must use real monies to
fund computing
services. Accounts are billed directly to you via the
chart of account
(COA) you supply.
MVS CICS and IDMS
signons that are set up by departments to access
student information,
personnel information, or BAIRS do not
generate
recharges.
For UCOP and UC campuses other than
Berkeley, recharge transactions are
submitted using an Intercampus
Financial Journal.
Customer
reports
A monthly Customer Report is sent only when
requested by the applicant.
Detailed summaries are also available.
Business Officers can request a
report under the "billing
address".
For UC Berkeley–funded accounts, recharges
are generated monthly
against your departmental chart of account
(COA) and reported in BAIRS .
Account
expiration and cancellation
Accounts are associated with
your UC ID (faculty, staff, student,
affiliate). With the exception
of emeritus faculty, this means that once
your affiliation has ended,
you are no longer eligible to continue using
UC computing
services.
You will be sent email notifying you of any
impending cancellation two
weeks
beforehand.
Graduate students are eligible
to continue using UC
computing services for three months past the
last date they are
enrolled.
Affiliates* are eligible to
use UC computing services until the ending
date of their affiliation
which is established by the hosting department
or Visiting Scholars
Program.
*Affiliates include Visiting Scholars,
Postdoctoral students, and
Research Fellows.

requested for Departmental or
Grant-funded accounts within two months

your account in the next
month's billing cycle. Should your request
be denied, you will be
notified by email by the appropriate IST
authority.
