Dear Colleagues:
This is an update on the FY26 rates for the Technology Recharge Fee (TRF), which provides support for a Basic Bundle of enterprise information technology services delivered by UW Information Technology (UW-IT).
Under a recommendation by the Information & Technology Executive Committee, and approved by the Provost, there will be a three percent increase to the TRF rates for FY26, as follows:
- $74.47 per month per capita for all academic and administrative units (the current rate is $72.30).
- $66.67 per month per capita for the UW Medical Centers (the current rate is $64.73).
To reach this year’s recommendation, the TRF Committee reviewed projected costs, including increases in the costs of enterprise software licenses. We are providing the rate to you earlier than in past years so that you can incorporate it sooner in your FY26 budget planning.
We appreciate your continued partnership and we want you to know that we recognize the importance of transparent stewardship for the resources we are given.
Best,
Sarah and Andreas
