GatorLink Dial-up Time Increased

David Colburn, Interim Provost

I am pleased to announce, effective immediately, that the time allocations for GatorLink dial-up usage have been increased. The previous and current allocations are as follows:

	Previous Allocation	New Allocation*
For Undergrads and USPS/OPS staff	15 hours/month	60 hours/month
For Grad Students and Post-Docs	60 hours/month	90 hours/month
For Faculty/A&P	105 hours/month	120 hours/month

*The cost for minutes used above these allocations will continue to be $.008/minute

Allocation increases outlined above are in response to requests by student leaders, growing needs from the instructional program, and strong faculty and staff interest. More cost effective hardware and some economies of scale that have come as a result of increased usage combined to help make these large improvements in dial-up time possible. Costs associated with GatorLink dial-up usage (within the above allocations) are funded by the Provost’s office.

If you have any questions about using GatorLink or these allocations, contact the UF Computing Help Desk at (352) 392- HELP, helpdesk@ufl.edu or visit the GatorLink Web Site at http://help.gatorlink.ufl.edu.
