How do I get a computer or an upgrade to my computer?

The college is committed to ensuring that all full-time faculty and staff are equipped with a suitable desktop computer. All new full-time faculty are allocated a desktop computer upon arrival. In addition, the college expects to follow a multi-year equipment replacement cycle through which each faculty member's PC will be upgraded or replaced periodically. Requests for computer equipment, including software applications and accessories, should be directed to the Department Chairperson. If the request cannot be funded from the Department budget, then the request can be endorsed and forwarded by the Chair to the Provost's Technology Committee for possible funding from annual college-wide budget allocations

Send your request to ITS in writing or via e-mail. The request must include:

Please note that this information is important as it allows us to ensure that your connection will be a smooth and successful one. Cable requests may take from several days to several weeks to be completed depending on the current backlog.

Can I get a custom web address for my faculty or department web site?

Faculty or Departments who would like to register a custom domain name need to either do that directly with Internic (the regulatory agency which monitors domain names) themselves or through a third party Internet service provider.
