Funding

The budget for Campus Services includes services and equipment for Education & General (E&G) projects related to E&G units. Repair and renovation of major building components, such as roofs and large air conditioning units that have failed or are about to fail, are prioritized to maximize resources and address urgent issues.  

University clients and customers, including colleges, departments, and divisions, pay for building requests that are beyond the scope of E&G projects.

Billing

Campus Services is responsible for billing charges associated with:

  • Service Requests (maintenance, repair, alterations)
  • Utility Services (electricity, natural gas, sewer, water, chilled & hot water)
  • Custodial Services
  • Landscaping Services
  • Waste & Recycling Services

For billing questions, please contact Ruth Ann Hillhouse, Business Manager, at 662-325-5830. 

Campus Services is funded for routine maintenance of E&G spaces as originally intended. This maintenance work is performed to offset the effects of normal "wear and tear." A good way to describe E&G responsibility is to envision a common classroom, laboratory, or office devoid of furniture, office machines, equipment, people, programs, and similar features. Anything added to the space is generally outside of the funding level of Campus Services.

Non E&G departments/facilities are charged for all services.

E&G departments/facilities are charged for services outside of the routine maintenance scope.
