Information on Ordering a Computer

- Educational Technology Services, Donna Pogroszewski @ ext. 3200

If you do not fall under the Computer Deployment Plan or have been approved to purchase a Lap Top or a Mini Lap Top please go to the M: drive following the path below:
M:\MCC\Pricing\Computer\Computer\DYO Desktop.xlsx
M:\MCC\Pricing\Computer\Laptop\and choose either 13” or Full size.xlsx
Then, by using the information in the spread sheets available and speaking with your area’s technology liaison you can contact the Purchasing Department to place your Computer order.
Information on Ordering a Printer
ETS recommends that printers that are being purchased have built-in network connectivity to serve multiple users. When your department is ready to purchase a printer please check with your area’s technology liaison to help determine your department needs. You can then review the recommended printers suggested by ETS by going to the M: drive following the path below:
M:\MCC\Pricing\Printers\Printer Selection List.xls
Once you have chosen the printer that will suit your needs, contact Purchasing to order your printer.
Once the above items have been ordered, purchased and received someone from the CNS Department will be in contact with you for set up and/or installation.

Cascade
Computers for Academic Services
Personal
computers that were previously in a classroom, lab, or learning
center are cascaded to faculty members or other members of the
Academic Services Division through the college's
cascade program. A faculty member should request a computer
upgrade through their department head who will, in turn, submit a
request to Bob Cunningham. Additionally, we monitor computer equipment
through numerous reports and will provide cascaded computers when
available.
Once we have
prepared the computer for redeployment, we will set up an
appointment with you to install. Prior to delivery and
set-up, we ask you to move any files stored on your C: drive to
the M: drive and notify the technician of any special software
required on your computer.

Upgrade Software
If your computer needs additional software loaded or the operating system needs upgrading, please call the Technology Support Line extension 8324 (TECH) and follow the prompts that apply to you. Some software can be loaded remotely by the technician. If it cannot be loaded remotely, a job ticket will be written and assigned to a technician who will schedule an appointment with you to do the upgrade.
In addition, we monitor computer software and operating systems through numerous reports and will, depending on workload, attempt to be proactive in upgrading your computer's operating system if we see it is below minimum standards.

These requests need the approval and signature of your department head, and sent to the CNS/Telecommunications Dept for processing 10 days prior to your move.
If you need help reconnecting your computer or peripheral equipment after it is moved, please indicate this on the online form. Please do not unplug and move your phone. We will do this for you.
