These initiatives provide supplementary funding to service organizations and academic units across the UAA/Anchorage campus. Receipt of funding by organizations and units under these initiatives is voluntary but does require recipients to meet identified standards, participation, and reporting requirements.

Each of UAA's campuses retains authority over whether to institute a technology fee locally or not. The Anchorage, Kenai Peninsula, Matanuska-Susitna, and the Valdez campus assess either computer lab or general technology fees. Fees collected at community campuses remain at individual campuses and are managed locally.

On the Anchorage campus, students are assessed a technology fee per credit hour. Anchorage campus student technology fees are managed by the members of the University Technology Council (UTC). The UTC serves as an advisory committee to the CIO and provides oversight management to the Student Technology Fee Fund. UTC members are appointed on an annual basis by the Provost. Membership includes all segments of the university community including students.
