• Your storage quota is the maximum amount of storage space allocated to your computing account on the UW Information Technology Central Servers.
• Currently, each type of service (email, Web publishing, UNIX storage) is granted a default storage quota as described in the tables below.
• Faculty and staff can use a UW budget number to purchase additional space in 1 gigabyte (GB) increments via Manage UW NetID Resources. Information on purchasing additional storage space is available in the UW-IT Service catalog.
• Students are limited to the established quotas.

UW NetID Support Group

Departments have the ability to manage additional storage space once their IT support personnel establish a UW NetID Support Group and their users have linked their UW NetID to the support group.
