The College makes every attempt to provide each faculty member with a personal computer and software that meet teaching and most research requirements within the limits of the budget. Each year computer systems are considered for replacement based on age, user requirements, and resource availability.

Please note the following:

1. Computer equipment supplied to faculty and staff remains the property of the College and must be returned to the College when a faculty or staff member's contract expires or is terminated.
2. Normally, personal computers will move with individuals when they change offices, except in the case of visiting members of the faculty who use the office and computer of a continuing faculty member.
3. When the College supplies an upgraded computer to a faculty or staff member, either through the centralized upgrade process or through a grant, the computer being replaced will return to the College's equipment pool for reassignment or disposal.
4. Faculty members going on leave may not take their office computers unless approved by the Director of User Services and are reminded that loaner laptops are available through User Services.
5. Exceptions to these policies must be approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the Chief Information Technology Officer.
