University
of Maryland Academic Use
This group consists of instructors at UM who wish to incorporate
Weblog into their curriculum. Since support of academic
endeavors is one of OIT’s primary tasks any use of
weblog and webhosting facilities for any academic activity
will be, with but few exceptions, subsidized.
Exceptions:
If an instructor requires weblog setup assistance, they
will be charged the consulting rate for the number of hours
required to accommodate their needs.
All Weblog activities that are in support
of a research project that is grant funded will be subject
to charges at the rate appropriate for such services rendered.
University
of Maryland General Use
This group consists of those departments, colleges, WebHosting
clients, and others affiliated with the University who wish
to make use of the weblog services offered to promote, profile,
publicize, or otherwise advance the agenda of their organizations.
This group will be subject to charges for webservices rendered
at the rate appropriate for said services.
As with academic activities already defined,
such subsidies do not include setup assistance.
University
System of Maryland (USM) Use
This group consists of all clients from USM or from a USM
school other than UM. All requests for Weblog services are
subject to charges for web services rendered at the rate
appropriate for said services. OIT reserves the right to
accept such requests for Weblog services based on ability
to devote time and resources at the time of the request.

provided they qualify based on the following criteria:
