Academic Services Billing Policies
for 2008-09
 Non-billable
hours
- Research and course-related. Work done in support
of Princeton courses, non-funded research, and student theses will
not be billed. Such work may come directly from faculty or students,
or indirectly from OIT or other department staff.
- Bug fixes. Work required to keep applications
running due to bug fixes (i.e., program errors that are our fault)
or changes in the OS environment will not be billed.
- Meetings. Consultations about proposed projects
or reviews of work on ongoing projects will not be billed.
- Consulting. Academic Services staff will advise
OIT colleagues and customers in their areas of expertise at no
cost, as long as this does not translate into work being done for the
advisee.
Billable
hours
- Projects. Unless one or more points above are met,
work on Academic Services projects will be billed. (See hourly rates
below.)
- Elapsed hours will be kept track of on a daily basis and will
be rounded to the nearest quarter hour.
- Projects will receive a write-up and price quote before they
are undertaken.
- If we underestimate the required time, and that is due to our
error, we will stick to the original estimated amount
for billing purposes.
- If a customer asks for
features not included when the original project write-up and
estimate were created, we will bill the customer for the extra
time needed to implement those features after first presenting
a write-up and a revised cost estimate.
- Funded research.
Work undertaken on behalf of Princeton research projects having grant
support will be billed as above.
- Enhancements. Work undertaken to change the functionality
of finished projects will be billed as above.
