College-Wide Administrative Fee on Designated Funds 19-Accounts

The College charges a 15.00% Administrative Fee to a subset of 19- designated accounts. This is in addition to the 5% Administrative Fee assessed by the University. See more at Budget Office: Reports & Policies > Administrative Charge to Auxiliary and Designated Fund Units.

Any account included for the University Fee is also eligible for the COE Fee.  This is generally external income from fee-for-service activity such as conferences, memberships, business contracts, etc.

The measurement period is August 1^st through  through July 31^st.  The fee is collected annually each year in August based on expenditures during the measurement period.

The fee does not apply to any account funded by the Dean's Office.  These are often titled, “COE Projects or Support –“.  The only object code that is excluded from the COE calculation is 1732 Office Space Rental and that assumes the office space is paid for from the account being assessed the fee.
