Administrative Overhead Charges

Administrative Overhead is charged on funds such as Auxiliaries, Athletics, Student Activities, Parking, and Transportation

These funds are used to support administrative positions that support these operations, to fund university wide initiatives (such as Banner software), to provide funding for campus capital projects (such as non-revenue generating space), and other University strategic initiatives.
