Off-Campus Definition. Off-campus activity is defined in the rate agreement as those activities that take place in facilities not owned by UMCES and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s). Projects will not be apportioned between on- and off-campus rates. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-campus, then the off-campus rate should be budgeted for the entire project. Conversely, if less than 50% is performed off-campus, the on-campus rate is to be applied. Justification for use of other than the on-campus rate is to be included in the proposal’s budget justification.
Off-Campus Definition. For all activities performed in facilities not owned by the institution and to which rent is directly allocated to the project(s), the off-campus rate will apply. Grants or contracts will not be subject to more than one F&A cost rate. If more than 50% of a project is performed off-campus, the off-campus rate will apply to the entire project.
