House Bill Equipment

Purchasing Equipment on House Bill Funds

These funds are for the purchase of Instructional and Data Processing Equipment. Generally, equipment must be used directly for instructional purposes or in direct support of instruction.  Equipment used by faculty (except when purchased primarily in support of their funded research) are considered to be in 鈥渟upport of instruction."

Permitted is equipment and materials necessary to prepare and improve infrastructure to permit greater reliance on technology for instructional purposes including, but not limited to, cable and conduit. 

The unit value of equipment must equal or exceed $100.  Individual items in a package may cost less than $100 but must be logically packaged in order to be eligible for funding (e.g. accessories such as a mouse, cables, or start-up software, which are bundled with a computer purchase). While freight and installation are acceptable charges, the following are not allowable:

  • Software upgrades or maintenance
  • Protection plans, Maintenance agreements, or Warranties (if priced separately)
  • Training
  • Items less than $100 unless bundled logically with an item that is greater than $100
  • Office furniture or equipment except computer workstations
  • Supplies
  • Books
  • Vehicles
