Technology Request Process
In February of each year, GTS and ATC will invite all staff and faculty to make technology requests for the upcoming fiscal year. The approved requests will be delivered after June 1,(depending on industry and supply chain constraints). All decisions regarding the requests will be communicated after the College budget approval process for next fiscal year has been finalized.
Academic Technology Request Process
Historically, the Academic Technology Request form is sent out in February by the ATC (Academic Technology Committee) for the following fiscal year. Technology requests that are approved are fulfilled during the following summer.
Summer 2022
Academic Technology approved for delivery in the summer of 2022:
Serious global supply chain challenges continue, but we have inventory to meet current approvals. If demand for new hardware outpaces our ability to acquire the necessary devices, we will prioritize new employees, as well as those requests that directly facilitate teaching and learning. Thank you for your cooperation and continued patience during this time.
Summer 2021
Academic Technology approved for delivery in the summer of 2021:
A serious global shortage of semiconductors has made procurement of needed technology difficult. As such, we are asking you to please consider delaying your hardware delivery until October or later. If you can continue using your current equipment without a serious impact to your productivity, we will plan to revisit your request later this fall. If, however, your current setup is having a noticeable impact on your day to day work, please indicate this and we will prioritize your request. If demand for new hardware outpaces our ability to acquire the necessary devices, we will prioritize new employees, as well as those requests that directly facilitate teaching and learning. Thank you for your cooperation and continued patience during this time.
Administrative Technology Request Process
The Administrative Technology Request process is sent out in February by 鶹Ƶ Technology Services. These requests are reviewed by GTS and fulfilled during the following summer.
Summer/Fall 2022
Administrative Technology approved for delivery in the summer of 2022:
Serious global supply chain challenges continue, but we currently have adequate inventory to meet approvals. If demand for new hardware outpaces our ability to acquire the necessary devices, we will prioritize new employees, as well as those requests that directly facilitate teaching and learning. Thank you for your cooperation and continued patience during this time.
Summer/Fall 2021
Administrative Technology approved for delivery in the summer/fall of 2021:
A serious global shortage of semiconductors has made procurement of needed technology difficult. As such, we are asking you to please consider delaying your hardware delivery until October or later. If you can continue using your current equipment without a serious impact to your productivity, we will plan to revisit your request later this fall.
