The Technology Access Fee (TAF) is a special fee paid each semester by U of M students to fund student-related technologies at the University of Memphis. Each year, a large portion of Technology Access Fee funds are spent to purchase computers for the university's TAF labs, located across campus and at its satellite campuses.

ITD coordinates the purchase and distribution of TAF lab computers, which number over 1,300 in 54 TAF labs. ITD also coordinates the purchase and installation of other TAF-funded equipment, such as Smart Carts, iPrint kiosks, mobile laptop carts, and Smart Classroom equipment.

ITD has created a system called the Technology Resource Locator (TRL) that lists the TAF-funded equipment at the university.

TAF lab computers that are replaced each year are given to faculty for use as desktop computers.
