**Other charges may apply to cover overtime costs

Note that:
- The videoconferencing facilities are available for
use by university staff and departments for university related work.
- The set-up fee covers the coordination, testing
and technical set-up of the connection between the University of Malta
and the remote site.
- Internal videoconferences between University of
Malta sites do not incur the set-up fee. This fee will therefore not
apply for sessions between the main campus and the University Gozo
Centre.
- Reduced fees may apply for study-units held
through videoconferencing. Members of staff are requested to send an e-mail
with more details on their requirements.
- The minimum session fee is set to 30mins i.e.
minimum session fee for a conference held during office hours is €5.80
(Lm2.49)*. The session fees are also rounded to the next half
hour e.g. the session fee for a conference held during office hours and
that lasts 1hr 45mins will be €17.45 (Lm7.49).
- The above fees apply to IP and ISDN conferences.
However, ISDN links originating from the University of Malta incur
additional ISDN connection charges. Incoming ISDN calls do not incur
such additional connection charges. More details about ISDN charges are
indicated here.

- Videoconference sessions can be recorded on a VHS
tape at a cost of €3.45 (Lm1.48) per tape which will be
provided to the conference organiser.
- The videoconferencing facilities must be booked at
least 10 working days before the date of the
videoconference session.
- Payment for
the videoconferencing session is to be made by a purchase order (PO).
The PO is to be approved by the Finance Office and received by the IT Services
before the date of the videoconference session.
Members
of staff who will be organising an ISDN conference are requested to
contact IT Services before issuing their PO. Such POs will also
cover the ISDN connection costs that vary according to destination,
duration & quality of link.
