Overhead Allocation

Effective July 1, 2024, the Full Costing Allocation will be replaced with an Overhead Allocation.

External revenue received by the University increases the scope of support required of University administrative infrastructure. The Overhead Allocation will provide the needed funding to assist with the cost of this infrastructure.

Grants are charged a facility and administrative (F&A) cost, and gifts are charged a gift fee as a means for support of these types of additional revenue.

Basis of Allocation:

The Overhead Allocation will be applied to the fund groupings of auxiliary (0100-0699), service operation (0700-0899), and non-endowment agency (6015) and be based upon external revenue in the account groupings of sales & services, net patient revenues, and misc. revenue. Attached are listings of the funds and accounts that had activity in FY23.
