New Non-Standard Computer

Guidelines for non-standard request:

1. A few may have needs beyond a standard machine. If so, please submit a request for a non-standard computer.
2. Provide details of the desired computer and what your needs are that will not be met by the standard computer.
3. Computer you are replacing: Indicate the type, model and approximate age.
4. Detailed proposal: Describe how the computer will be used to enhance your teaching and professional work at the College. (Please limit the narrative to one page, in addition to the information requested above.) As noted above, the quality and substance of the proposal shall be the key to deciding to whom the computers are awarded. We can increase our buying power and upgrade computers for more faculty, if most requests are for one of the standard systems.  Be sure to provide a detailed list of components that are essential to your use of the computer, but are not included in the standard system, as well as a justification for the items.
5. Approval of the department chairperson (for informational purposes only). After form submission, an approval email will be sent to the chairperson for your department. The chairperson may wish to add comments regarding the importance of the requested computer in line with the department’s programs. 
6. The former machine will be surrendered after data has been transferred to the new machine.

The Educational Technology Committee (ETC) will review submitted proposals and make recommendations to the Chief Information Officer, who will then make the final decision on this request.
