Network Rates

NEW- Information User Model Rates

Beginning on July 1, 2008, the NTS (Network and Telephone Service) billing will be changing as a result of the Information User (IU) funding model implementation. The 08-09 IU funding model allows the campus to move away from the port/jack and line-based charging metric and begin to distribute the cost of many shared ITS services and infrastructure in a manner that is transparent and responsive to the current campus IT needs.

In addition to these changes, charges for many of those services not included in the Information User Model have changed. Please refer to the tables below for current costs of all one-time and recurring costs of services provided by ITS Core Technologies. "IU" indicates that the cost for a service is included in the Information User funding.

Telephone and Network charges are calculated at the close of each month and transferred to FIS Banner.
Charge detail is available in several formats:

  • NTS website
  • Data Warehouse
  • Excel Spreadsheets and hardcopy reports- to divisional contacts to be distributed to various campus departments.

Any questions regarding a bill or specific charges may be referred to itsbill@ucsc.edu or 9-5771.

The rates listed below are valid through June 30, 2009.
