Enterprise Technology Budget and Finance

1. GOA/GOT - General Operating Appropriation/General Operating Tuition accounts are accounts funded by legislative appropriation. 
    
2. Non-Local Tuition - Non-appropriated local tuition funds (NLT) are necessary to fulfill legislative reporting requirements to establish separate appropriated and non-appropriated tuition funds.  Accounts receive their funding from the central budget office. These accounts should be utilized prior to student fees and local unrestricted accounts.

The Undergraduate College Fee is one of four fee categories based on a student's program of study.  ASU conducted a comprehensive review of all instructional costs for every program. Programs of study with similar costs were grouped together, and those fees were averaged to determine an amount for each category.

Mandatory Student Fee accounts are funded by student-initiated fees. These are deposited directly by Student Business Services after charges post to student accounts (typically happens in batches sporadically throughout the year).

1. The Graduate Student Support Fee helps fund resources and services that support graduate students, including technology resources and services, instructional and laboratory expenses in departments and schools, and graduate student services.

These chargebacks include Licenses, Hosting, Deskside and Server Support, Web Development, and Network Support.
