Funding Types

In this page we will describe the various Funding Sources used by our campuses and their various use cases.

ITI (INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE)
Funds available to CES higher education entities that include the campus network, telephones, servers, data storage, computer labs, presentation systems in both small and large venues, and other technology hardware used in the academic units. ITI may be used to cover licensing cost of associated infrastructure.

ITD (INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT)
Funds available to CES higher education entities for software development requests that include new, upgrade, or replacement of systems on campus that have an enterprise or significant impact across campus.

ITS (INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SOFTWARE/CONTRACTS)
Funds available to CES higher education entities to pay the licensing costs of software that is considered “enterprise-wide” either at a local or CES-wide level.

ITS vs. CES ITS ACCOUNT
Software can be funded by either an ITS account or a “CES” ITS account. ITS funding is for software that is enterprise-wide in nature but does not span institutions; CES ITS funding is for software that spans more than one CES entity.

CONTINGENCY
Funds available for unforeseen needs, mostly of an emergency nature. Funds are not to compensate for over-budget projects or as an improvement.

CES vs. LOCAL vs. DEPARTMENT FUNDING
CES refers to appropriation funding that exists for more than one campus (CES ITS, CES ITD, CES ITI). Local or funding source is used to reference a funding source that is covered by appropriation for the specific campus (Local ITS, Local ITI, Local ITD, ITS, ITI, ITD). Department refers to funding that comes from the specific department and is not appropriation funding.
