For-Fee Services

For a nominal fee, Penn State students can increase their personal Web or disk space allocation. Departments can also pay a nominal fee to increase personal Web and Unix space of faculty and staff, request departmental Web space, TSM (formerly ADSM) backup space, or remote plotting.

The cost for the for-fee or billable services varies depending on the service type. Please see cost for details.

Penn State faculty, staff, students, and departments must apply for billable services. Please note that for Departmental billable services, an ITS Charge Account (formerly P-Account) is required. The ITS Charge Account is used for billing purposes. Students are charged through individual bursar accounts. The charges will appear on the next tuition bill from the Bursar's Office. All billable services are listed on the ITS For-Fee Service Request Form.

All applicants requesting billable services from ITS or requests funded by a departmental fund, a contract, or a grant must have an ITS Charge Account set up through ITS in order for the charges to be billed. Applicants with currently existing ITS Charge Accounts can request additional services be added to that account by using the ITS For-Fee Service Request Form. Applications should be sent in duplicate to the appropriate Dean's office and to the ITS Computer Accounts Office, Room 101 Computer Building. This account will expire on the termination date specified though accounts paid through general funds must be reauthorized each fiscal year. All computer use on this account will be direct billed on a monthly basis in accordance with procedure #CR2069 dated 08/04/1993. When the dollar amount listed on the ITS For-Fee Service Request Form has been exceeded by the account, a notice will be sent to the account supervisor asking for additional funds or if the account should be terminated.

All billable services continue for as long as the user qualifies for a Penn State Access Account or as long as it is associated with an active ITS Charge Account (formerly P-Account). Please see Penn State Access Account Qualifications for qualifications for specific account types and rules for account creation, suspension and termination.
