RATE REQUESTS

The Office of the Controller approves rate requests that allow a unit to charge for services that it provides to users. A common example of this is an academic department or research unit wanting to charge for an analytical service that it performs.

The process normally requires that a department or research unit requests a Service Center account (18 Series) and approval for its rate or rates. Once an account is established and rates are approved, charges can be assessed to users' accounts by Interdepartmental Transfer VT5 documents (IDTs).

If you would like to submit a new service center rate approval request or change an existing rate approval, please download the UT Austin Service Center Instructions and UT Austin Single or Multirate Request Packages. Use the Vehicle Rate Request forms for vehicle rate requests. Send a printed copy of the completed form with the appropriate signatures to Virginia Oviedo, Indirect Cost Analyst, Office of Accounting, MAI 132, Mail Code K5300.
