Data Storage Expansion Project

UNC Information Technology department is expanding data storage for faculty and staff. The project will take place over the next 3-4 months and will be seamless to most areas. Storage is based on containers of space and will allow more flexibility when adding or removing disk space on an individual basis.

Payment Plans
Employee Payroll
University employees may participate in the payroll deduction plan as long as they are approved through the Payroll department and have a purchase of at least $600 (we usually reduce to $300 for Christmas). The entire purchase is totaled with tax added and a $25 fee attached. Divide the total by 6 months and that is the payment amount that will be deducted from an employee's paycheck each month. You may only have one deferral in process at a time. If an employee leaves prior to a deferral being paid, the remaining amount will be subtracted from their last paycheck. If the remaining amount is more than the final paycheck, then the employee must make arrangements with Bear Logic for the remaining amount.

Student deferral
The student program is similar to the payroll plan except that students must be in good standing with the university. This is determined by reviewing their account balance and verifying that they are an enrolled student. Students pay their account over 6 payments, but the first payment is required at the time of purchase. The remaining 5 payments will show on their account monthly. Students may only have one deferral at a time. Note: Student employees do not qualify for the payroll deduction plan; they must be processed under the student plan.


These plans are not just available for the holidays, take advantage of them anytime!
