General FAQ

Does UCM charge for work?

Because UCM is now a centralized team, we are no longer charging for most communication and marketing work.

Projects and tasks are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we may occasionally need to charge for work depending on associated external costs, our capacity, and a project’s relevance to University goals.
